Not Alone Notes was built out of an idea…

to mail care packages of resources to individuals early in their journeys with OCD.

This was simplified to a handwritten letter full of hope and expanded to include anyone with OCD or related disorders. Still, the original idea was in the back of our minds, and now it has become a reality.

In January 2021, we made a trial run of 30 totes. The packages included a Not Alone Note, book, journal, fiddle items, stickers from OCD organizations/companies, and many more resources someone new to OCD could use. Since then, we have sent several more batches of totes out to folks new to OCD.
