Program+ initiatives
For those who reported OCD at some point in their lives, there is a 30 – 80% prevalence for anxiety disorders and a 50 -70% prevalence for mood disorders. Other co-occurring conditions include substance use disorders, eating disorders, specific phobias, panic disorder, social anxiety, PTSD, trauma, etc. The co-occurrence (existing simultaneously) of OCD and anxiety, mood disorders, depression, AD/HD, substance use disorders, and eating disorders is a vital topic. With our programs and initiatives, we hope to open the box and shine a light!
CURRENT INITIATIVES 2023
JACK Mental Health Advocacy has been busy! We are bringing access to co-occurring eating disorders with Project Heal and mental health programming for LBGTQ+ youth with The Lighthouse. In addition, we have offered funds to the Behavioral Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) Scholarship Fund for clinicians treating individuals with OCD. Finally, we are creating an access-to-care partnership with NOCD. Stay tuned for more initiatives in 2023!
