Not Alone Notes

Life has been busy lately. (Did you know Morgan got married?) But we are happy to announce that Not Alone TOTES are back for another round this fall!

Not Alone Totes are care packages full of resources mailed to individuals new to their journeys with OCD. The form to request a Tote for yourself of a loved one will be available in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, we are collecting donations! This can be any sort of mental health resource of other comforting item. We would need at least 30 of each item, mailed to us by the end of September. Your name/logo will be included with each tote, as well as on our website.

Interested? Send us a DM or email [email protected]
Examples of past donations include: mental health workbooks, fidget toys, informational pamphlets, stickers, art supplies, and more!

Or tag someone below who might be interested in contributing!

⏰ Reminder that we are still sending Back-to-School notes! Sign up before school starts, or if school has already started, that’s ok too! We always need encouragement in the beginning of the school year!

Had a wonderful time advocating for OCD with Heather Karp Art & Design Christina Ennabe | Trauma, OCD & Anxiety & Robin Cleveland Marino at Chalk Gallery 💙 If you’re in the area, check out Heather’s art!

Please help us spread the word!

📖 For the back-to-school season in August and September, we are sending notes of encouragement to those with anxiety about going back to school.

We know how hard the transition from summer to school can be, and we want to remind others they aren’t alone with the anxiety they might be feeling.

Whether a student, teacher, aide, etc. we will send you a free, handmade note of encouragement as part of your back to school transition.
