Winter/Spring NEWSLETTER AVAILABLE FOR
DOWNLOAD.
If you have an idea for a theme for a future newsletter,
please let us know at ocdmich@aol.com.
We have talked about
the website OCDchallenge.com
before.
This website offers an interactive
self-help program for
those dealing with OCD, and is particularly useful for individuals who
cannot afford
or do not have access to standard OCD treatment.
There used to be a
charge to use the site (which was very reasonable and affordable).
We have been told that the site is now
COMPLETELY FREE, courtesy of the Peace of Mind
Foundation (peaceofmind.com).
If you choose to try this
site, please let us know how you like it, if you think it is effective,
useful, or "do-able" for OCD sufferers. We'd
like to hear from you.

Case Western Reserve University Studies:
Researchers at Case Western
Reserve University are conducting two online studies about
the relationships
of individuals with OCD or hoarding. Each study involves completing
questionnaires online about relationships, emotions and OCD. You must be at
least 18 to participate.
Those who participate may enter into a raffle for a
Target gift card. The information gathered
from this study may help to
improve therapies for OCD. For more information, visit their
