Welcome to the OCDOntario.org Website!

OCDONTARIO is an all volunteer non profit charity focused on providing help and information to children and adults with OCD and their families in Ontario.

 

We need your help!!!

We are updating our Directory of Clinical Services and Community Resources (located on side bar as "Directory"). We would appreciate if you would take a look at our directory and provide us with any new names or information that needs to be updated, e.g., health care professionals who work either in hospitals, clinics or in private practice, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, etc. We also would like the names of any of the organizations that we do not have listed in our directory, e.g, mental health organizations, drop in centres, self help groups, etc.

Please give us as much information as possible and we will contact the person/organization and confirm that they would like to register in our in line Directory.

Thank you so much for helping us help the OCD Community of Ontario.
