#WellnessWednesday: What state do you live in?

[BethIOCDF]

The IOCDF is proud to work with a variety of types of organizations across the mental health sphere to help raise awareness for what it means to really have OCD and related disorders, and to support all those affected seeking treatment and resources.

One way that we do this is with our Affiliates. IOCDF Affiliates are non-profit organizations that are run entirely by dedicated volunteers that carry out the mission of the International OCD Foundation through programs at the local community level within the United States.

If you would like to come to set up an affiliate in your state or join an already existing one, please click the link below.

What good is the affiliate of NYC if they are someone who has provided treatment and then taken it away? The affiliate has no control over insurance coverage? BethIOCDF

After a therapist Phd Yvette Fruchter stopped working at Bio Behavioral I was left with very little referrals and no treatment. Them being the affiliate is part of the issue. If they were understanding enough they could have followed with me to see if I secured treatment. They assured me when I first started there that them taking my insurance was not an issue.
