Welcome to AFOCD!

"We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right."
- Marianne Williamson -

Welcome to our website! We hope you take time to learn more about OCD , review our Q & A page, learn about our educational services , consider ordering a film or booklet , get help finding a therapist or more information , and find hope from some of the articles written by James Callner , MA and AFOCD President.

We are a collaboration of individuals with one common goal: to heighten, support, and educate public awareness through speaking engagements , private educational coaching , and our award-winning films and books about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Hope and Understanding are powerful medicines. AFOCD is about bringing that hope and understanding to you. Our mission is to educate the public and individuals about OCD and related disorders through Lectures, Emails, Consulting and our Films and Books. Since 1992 James Callner has been lecturing at schools, conferences, support groups and community venues, showing his educational films and speaking from experience about hope and options for individuals challenged by OCD. Many times Mr. Callner will be joined by his fellow AFOCD professionals and/or specialists on OCD. (See our Educational Services and Testimonials pages.)

"I found that helping others, soothing others and educating people with the same disorder as me continues to heal my spirit. It's a two way street of healing that truly works. Presentations are my way of giving back what was given to me during those desperate days, months and years of the disorder: some hope." - James Callner
