Canada, 4th Feb 2026 – VCM Interactive Inc., a leading Toronto-based video production and animation company, was commissioned by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre’s Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre to create a series of educational, informative, and emotionally impactful videos. The project raises public awareness about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and showcases the Centre’s evidence-based Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, which provides critical support for individuals facing severe OCD.
As part of this initiative, VCM Interactive developed two fully animated explainer videos now featured on the Frederick Thompson Centre’s homepage. These engaging animations are designed to help audiences better understand:
What is OCD? – A clear, accessible explanation of the disorder, and the OCD cycle, addressing misconceptions as well as illustrating how OCD affects daily life.
What is ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)? – An overview of the leading evidence-based treatment for OCD, demonstrating how E-R-P therapy empowers people to reduce symptoms and regain control.
In addition to the animated videos, VCM Interactive produced three live-action client testimonial videos that highlight real recovery journeys supported by the Thompson Centre’s specialized OCD program. These authentic stories aim to inspire, reduce stigma, and provide hope for individuals who may be silently struggling.
The patient stories include:
- Cassie’s Story – A young woman’s journey of confronting her fears and breaking free from debilitating OCD.
- Fadi’s Story – A powerful reflection on resilience and transformation through ERP therapy after years of suffering quietly.
- Gail’s Story – A heartfelt account of healing and rediscovering joy after decades of living with OCD.
One of Gail’s therapists shared, “This is SO beautiful it made me tear up! I love the clips of her interacting (and dancing!) with her granddaughter—so special, and such a great depiction of Gail’s personality and strengths.”
Gail added, “Paul! I’m bawling my eyes out! A huge Thanks to you and the Thompson Centre (TC)!! I hope this video testimonial helps to ‘pay it forward’… I hope everyone involved in working with OCD sufferers understands and knows the impact and significance of what you’re doing and the lives you’re helping and saving.”
“Creating both the animated explainer videos and testimonial stories for Sunnybrook’s Thompson Centre was a deeply meaningful project for our team,” said Paul Nandrajog, Producer/Director at VCM Interactive Inc. “Our goal was to make these powerful journeys accessible and relatable, using real voices and animation to show that while OCD is serious, recovery is possible with the right tools and support.”
All videos are available on the Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre homepage and Sunnybrook’s YouTube channel, serving as valuable educational resources for patients, families, healthcare professionals, and the wider community.
“These videos help break the stigma surrounding OCD and clearly show that treatment works,” said Dr. Peggy Richter, Director of the Thompson Centre. “We’re grateful to VCM Interactive for helping us communicate our work in such a meaningful and compassionate way.”
