After attending NAMI’s inaugural Imperial County walk last year, OCD SoCal is proud to again have supported this event this past weekend, Saturday April 13! It was a beautiful day for a walk around the Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, and OCD SoCal sponsored a table at NAMI’s Wellness Fair inside the mall after the walk. We were able to connect with individuals with OCD, friends, or loved ones, and share information about OCD resources and events. The OCD SoCal swag was a hit, especially with the many kids who attended the event! It was also a great opportunity to meet individuals from the local community interested in volunteering with OCD SoCal as well as connecting with clinicians and local resources in the area. OCD SoCal looks forward to expanding our outreach through collaborations in Imperial County! 

If you would like to support NAMI and their incredible work, please visit the NAMI Imperial County walk page. 

If you are from the Imperial Valley area and are interested in our events, and/or collaborating or volunteering with OCD SoCal for future events, we’d love to hear from you! info@ocdsocal.org
