Content Request: Educational Resources for OCD and Mental Health
Hello Khan Academy Team,
I am a big fan of your platform and the way you make complex topics accessible to everyone. I would love to suggest a new area of content for Khan Academy: educational resources focused on mental health conditions, specifically Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other complex issues.
There is a huge need for accurate, evidence-based education on what OCD actually looks like (such as contamination fears, intrusive thoughts, and the role of ERP/somatic regulation), moving past the common stereotypes. This kind of content would be incredibly valuable for:
- Caretakers and family members to help them understand how to support loved ones without accidentally accommodating the anxiety.
- Students and future therapists which will provide a foundational, accessible look at clinical concepts before they enter advanced training. And,
- The general public to foster deep empathy and accurate awareness.
Given your excellent track record with health and medicine courses, I think Khan Academy is uniquely positioned to create life-changing educational content in this space. Thank you for considering this suggestion and for all the amazing work you do!
Best regards,
Tristan (current 10th grader/going into 11th grade this upcoming school year homeschooler and student on Khan Academy.)
