OCD Week 20th-26th February 2012

This February, OCD Action will be running its 3rd OCD Week to raise awareness of OCD amongst the general public.

In 2010, our first OCD Week, we were able to reach over 3million people via the media and countless more through 20 local events. OCD Week 2011 was an even bigger success, our media work reached over 6million people and we were able to double the number of local awareness events.

For OCD Week 2012 we have set some ambitious targets. This year we not only want to reach more people than ever before but we also want to make sure that our important message is heard by people that we don’t always reach such as people from minority communities.

We have always relied on your help to make OCD Week a success – So far we have lots of volunteers getting involved with awareness activity up and down the country.
