The Boston OCD Walk is a community engagement event that allows individuals impacted by obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to connect, share stories, create impact, and show those struggling on their road to recovery that they are not alone.

Join us for lawn games, food trucks, a therapy pony, and a lovely 2-mile walk with beautiful views of the Charles River.

Participation is completely free!

However, the OCD Walk is also a fundraising event with all proceeds benefiting the International OCD Foundation, a mental health organization focused on increasing the availability of treatment for OCD, shortening the time to diagnosis, and ensuring that no one with OCD suffers alone.

Step up to show your support of the Greater Boston OCD community and find a supportive community of peers.

Together, we will take strides for OCD awareness and show Boston what it really means to have OCD.
