Okrileni Zaedno is a non-governmental organization founded with the mission to raise awareness about Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related conditions within Bulgarian society. We are a group of professionals and individuals with lived experience who believe that no one should face the challenges of OCD alone. Our goal is to build a community of allies where conversations about mental health are natural and necessary.
It is our belief that providing reliable and accessible information about OCD is essential for supporting and improving services for the affected individuals and their loved ones. The association was established as a natural continuation of organizing the first two OCD conferences in Bulgaria, aimed at both people with lived experience and professionals in the field.
We believe that shared experience and knowledge can change lives. That is why we work to promote best practices in therapy and support, as well as to encourage the professional development of mental health specialists. Our goal is to help every person feel understood, accepted, and supported on their path toward a more fulfilling life.
