Young people affected by OCD and their families can often feel very alone, as OCD is so rarely taken seriously or understood. At OCD Action, we understand and we listen. Our services provide young people and their families the support, community and information they need to recover from OCD.

Situation
Young people with OCD can suffer for years in silence, often without even identifying their symptoms as OCD. Left untreated, OCD can become much worse and recovery much harder. We want to ensure that no person faces OCD alone, and their loved ones supporting them are not alone either. We provide high-quality information and one-to-one support to ensure young people are empowered to seek treatment at the earliest possible point and their families are empowered to support them in this.
Solution
We want to ensure young people and their families can access high-quality information and support, so that every young person is able to seek treatment and get better. We will support more young people and their families via our Helpline and Youth Helpline. We will also build a dedicated hub on our website that provides young people with information, and which directly links young people to our Youth Helpline, and share our information through social media campaigns.
