Free Faith and Mental Health Conference- 03.21.2021
March 21, 2021 1-5PM Eastern Time
The International OCD Foundation is excited to present its first Faith and Mental Health Conference. This event was started out of a recognition that many individuals living with a mental health condition first seek assistance from their faith leaders prior to a mental health provider.
The conference has been created specifically to address the needs of this diverse community, spanning all faiths, ethnicities, and races. We hope to help bring awareness about effective treatments, support to those impacted by a mental health condition, and ways to best work together.
Please join us for a collaborative conversation between faith leaders, mental health providers, and the OCD community.

Hello OCD Midwesterners (Sounds like a fun name for us). As the Holidays approach, a few things to note:
1. If you are so inclined to give donations to us by the end of the year, we would happily accept them!. Your monies go to funding Behavior Therapy Training Institutes here in the Midwest. We had one this year in Chicago and will have one next year in Indy. Also, There will be an OCD training that will be going in in Columbus, Ohio next year too. Dr. Charles Brady will be in charge of that.
2. Amazon Smile is a great way to shop online and give back to OCD Midwest. Just choose OCD Midwest as the charity of choice for your donations and OCD Midwest makes money when you shop.
Did you know that when you shop for the holidays at smile.amazon.com/ch/27-2783152 , AmazonSmile donates to Ocd Midwest?
Finally, have a great holiday season. We will have more updates on trainings soon.
