Does a child you know have OCD or are you concerned that they might have OCD?

Childhood OCD is a webinar to help parents, educators, professionals, and other adults better understand what OCD is, what it looks like in children, and what treatment for childhood OCD involves. We will explore recent research findings where parents of children with OCD were interviewed to explore their experiences of parenting their child. Parents will walk away with an understanding of what evidence-based psychological treatment for OCD involves, as well as top tips for what families can do to support their child’s treatment at home.
