Join us tomorrow for the first of this two part series!

One of the most challenging parts of supporting a child with OCD is knowing the difference between comforting your child and unintentionally reinforcing the OCD cycle. It’s not something parents instinctively know, and it’s certainly not because they’re doing anything wrong.

That’s why we’ve developed our new Understanding OCD: Parent & Caregiver Workshop.
Across two live online sessions, we’ll explore:
• What OCD is (and what it isn’t)
• Why OCD develops
• Common obsessions and compulsions in children and young people
• The overlap & differences between OCD and Autism
• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – the gold standard psychological treatment
• Family accommodation and reassurance
• Practical, evidence-based strategies to support your child at home

📅 Wednesday 2nd & Wednesday 9th September
🕙 10:00am–12:00pm (Online)
💶 €60 per family

The workshop will be delivered by our Assistant Psychologist Johanna Kappenberg alongside the clinical supervision of Dr Patricia Barber, Chartered Counselling Psychologist, who will also join the sessions to provide clinical oversight and answer questions.

Whether your unsure if your child has OCD, if they have recently been diagnosed or is already receiving treatment, our aim is to help parents feel more confident, informed and supported.

Places are limited. We look forward to welcoming you.
