OCD at University: A Support Handbook
Hello students, prospective students, (also students’ relatives and friends)!
OCD Action knows living with and supporting someone with OCD at university can be challenging – but please remember you are not alone.
Whether you’re starting university, continuing studies or supporting a student, this Handbook is invaluable. It explains ways to make everyone’s university experience easier to navigate.
Some Areas Our Handbook Aims to Help With
• Understanding OCD and how it can affect university life.
• Accessing the right support, from disability services to wellbeing.
• Finding available treatment, and understanding and knowing the clinically recognised options.
• Advocating for people with OCD, including yourself, when speaking to tutors and support staff.
• Connecting with others to build a support network.
