The Daily, a podcast of The New York Times, recently revisited its favorite episodes of 2019, including an interview with Ella Maners, a participant in the University of Florida’s Fear Facers Summer Camp, hosted by the Center for OCD, Anxiety & Related Disorders.
At the end of the original podcast, Ella is introduced to a 70-year-old woman who was inspired to seek help to conquer her fears after hearing Ella’s story.
The camp, held each summer, helps kids with with obsessive-compulsive disorder and other types of anxiety find personal growth and improve behavior, while contributing to research efforts at UF Health.
