A major step in making a real difference for people living with OCD is expanding access to evidence-based treatment, like CBT with ERP, by increasing funding, training more specialists, and reducing wait times.
Beyond treatment, raising public awareness is crucial to dismantle misconceptions and stigma that prevent people from seeking help. Schools, workplaces, and communities should be educated about OCD beyond stereotypes.
Additionally, creating stronger peer support networks can provide people with lived experience a safe space to connect, reducing isolation.
By focusing on these areas—better treatment access, awareness, and community support—OCD Action can make a lasting impact in 2025-2028.
