Understanding Childhood OCD

This workshop is available for FREE thanks to the support from the Bell Let's Talk Community Fund!

This workshop aims to provide participants with an understanding of what obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is, the ways in which OCD can present in children and youth, as well as explore the impact OCD can have on the daily functioning of children. Lastly, this workshop will provide participants with evidenced-based treatment approaches for treating OCD. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Be aware of the diagnostic criteria for OCD and have a basic understanding of using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for treating OCD;
• Identify the different ways in which OCD can present in children and youth;
• Identify and apply evidence-based parenting strategies for supporting children and youth with OCD in the home, classroom and community settings.
