Feedback Survey
The Secret Illness explores the realities of living with OCD through the creative arts. By linking people living with OCD and creative professionals, it expands the expressive toolkit of the OCD community. Our ultimate goal is to make OCD less of a secret illness. In this talk, members of the Secret Illness team provide a project overview, share a selection of creative works, and report early indicators of impact based on community feedback. We discuss lessons learned in creating a community-based OCD arts project and reflect on how our involvement has personally affected us.
