OCD at School
OCD Action is proud to announce that we have received funding from a charitable trust to launch a major new programme to help young people with OCD at school.
The OCD at school project will see special events for young people, new resources, events for school nurses and welfare officers, a new website and an army of parents visiting schools nationwide.
We are aiming to start activities in time for the new school year in September and are currently building a project team to make sure that we can meet all our objectives.
Can you help us?
At this stage we are looking to build up a list of people interested in being a part of this new initiative. Whether it is helping to design materials or visiting a local school we need your help. To register you interest please use the form below.
We are especially keen to recruit young people with OCD currently in school and the parents of young people with OCD either currently in school or who have recently left.

I think this project is a wonderful idea, is suffered terribly at school as a result of OCD.
Bullied,
No friends
Poor work and grades,
Always in trouble for acting out,
Dreaded going to school everday
Let me know if I can help, I live on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border.
hi i have ocd and i am 13 i think this is a great idea
This is *so* important. I am a school teacher, who has also lived with OCD for 14 years. Several of my students have been diagnosed with OCD, but have been afraid to talk about it or ask for support, as they feel any form of mental health disorder is stigmatised by both their peers and their teachers. Unfortunately, in my experience, they are right on both counts. Anything that raises awareness and educates young people about any kind of mental health issue is definitely something to shout about.
I feel the same
Hi I am the mother of a 16 year old with severe OCD. She is having terrible problems at school mainly with writing and re-writing. It takes her a whole lesson just to write the date at the top of the page. We have kept on at the school and they have just this week provided a lap top. What a difference! She no longer feels her writing isnt perfect so is crossing out less. The teachers are clueless though about the condition. A lot of education is required. If I can help I would be delighted!
