October 7-13, 2018 is International OCD Awareness Week. The IOCDF and its affiliates across the country are sponsoring all types of programs, events, and celebrations. Some will be educational and informational, while others will focus on raising awareness of OCD (check out the Mental Health Advocacy Capital Walk). In addition, there will be training programs for professionals as well as lots of events through social media! Take a look at this link to see what’s happening and how you can get involved.
In honor of International OCD Awareness Week, I will be giving away three signed copies of my book, Overcoming OCD: A Journey to Recovery. Originally published in January 2015, the paperback version was released in November 2017:
To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment on my blog by Sunday, October 7, 2018. I will then randomly choose three winners and announce the results on my blog.
Good luck to all who choose to participate!
I just want to say that your posts have helped me to help my son Jacob (who is 18 and currently enrolled at UPenn as a freshman). Your son Dan is so similar to Jacob. They were cut from the same cloth. Thank you for all you do to help this community!

You’re welcome Lisa and thank you so much for your kind words. Congratulations to Jason and I wish you both all the best as he starts his college career!
I am so thankful that I found your blog last year when my son was diagnosed. It has been so helpful. Would love to read your book!!
Glad you’ve found my blog helpful Stephanie. Everyone who comments is entered in the giveaway. Good luck!
I would love to receive your book. We are having a coffee drop in at our local cafe in Ramsey uk to try and raise awareness and start an OCD support group.
Good for you Jannette! I’m sure you’re on your way to helping a lot of people.
I also appreciate any additional resources to help our family support and encourage our 17 year old son who has OCD. It’s part of his journey but the ability to be his advocate makes all of the difference!
I agree with you Ashley. Having strong family support can make all the difference in the world!
Happy OCD Awareness Week!

I am currently suffering from the disorder and thank you for having this blog. I hope that you continue this work because people need it to help themselves and their families.
Thank you Anthony. I hope you’ve been able to find a good OCD specialist and are working toward recovery. I wish you all the best as you move forward!
