Centering the Black Voice and Affirming the
Black & OCD Experience
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
In the U.S., Black Americans suffer with OCD at a rate equivalent to the larger population, but are less likely to have access to evidence-based treatment. When able to find help, few Black Americans with OCD receive the recommended specialized treatment, and fewer Black Americans with OCD use medication (Himle et al., 2008).
Black youth and adults with OCD are underserved in the mental health community and underrepresented in OCD research. ~IOCDF 2012, 2016

AWARENESS - DISSEMINATION - OUTREACH
Black & OCD increases visibility, strengthen understanding, and build meaningful pathways to culturally-responsive community engagement - bridging lived experience, shared knowledge, and access to OCD resources and support.
