The International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) has been nominated to receive the 2018 COMMUNITY BUILDER AWARD from the Child Mind Institute! Their annual Change Maker Awards celebrate individuals and organizations who raise awareness and dispel stigma, help children and families directly, or work to transform the way we understand and treat mental health and learning disorders.
From among hundreds of organizations considered for this recognition, IOCDF has been selected as ONE OF FIVE FINALISTS FOR THE COMMUNITY BUILDER AWARD. The winner will be decided as a result of online voting, which is open to the public now through Friday, March 23 at www.childmind.org/campaign/201
One vote per email address per day may be entered. So please feel free to vote multiple times.
The winner will be announced in early April and will receive the award at a ceremony hosted by NBC’s Cynthia McFadden in New York City on May 7th. Other honorees that evening will include Activist Award winner, Glenn Close, the founder of Bring Change 2 Mind which promotes empathy and fights stigma; and Champion Award winner, California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, whose platform includes prioritizing mental health research and early intervention.
OCD SOCAL (AN IOCDF LOCAL AFFILIATE) WOULD LOVE FOR IOCDF TO BE ON THE PODIUM ON MAY 7TH AS THE RECIPIENT OF THE 2018 COMMUNITY BUILDER AWARD, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE A HIGH-VISIBILITY PLATFORM TO SHOWCASE ALL THEIR WORK TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THOSE AFFECTED
BY OCD AND RELATED DISORDERS!
