Hartford, CT – The Board of OCD Connecticut, the state affiliate of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), is thrilled to announce that Governor Ned Lamont has officially proclaimed October 13 to 19, 2025, as OCD Awareness Week in the state of Connecticut. This significant recognition is a pivotal step in our ongoing efforts to raise awareness and promote understanding of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related conditions.
OCD is a mental health condition that affects millions of individuals nationwide, yet it remains largely misunderstood. With the governor’s proclamation, we hope to shed light on the realities of living with OCD, educate the public on its symptoms, and advocate for better access to treatment and support.
“We are incredibly honored by this proclamation from Governor Lamont,” said Audrey Medd, Secretary of OCD Connecticut. “This recognition will not only amplify our message but also reinforce our commitment to supporting individuals and families navigating the challenges of OCD. We believe that through awareness and education, we can reduce stigma and help those affected seek the help they need.”
Throughout OCD Awareness Week, OCD Connecticut hosted a variety of events, workshops, and outreach initiatives aimed at engaging the community and fostering open conversations about OCD.
For more information about upcoming events, resources, and how to get involved, please visit our website at ocdct.org.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by OCD and work towards a future where understanding and support are readily available for all.
