This workshop is perfect for parents and caregivers of children and teens struggling with OCD. It’s designed to be a complement to "An Evening of Kicking OCD's Butt!" for kids. Parents will learn practical tips that they can start using right away. Discussion will focus on how parents can better understand OCD and the symptoms associated with it, how to help children through exposures, how to reduce accommodating behaviors (e.g. giving reassurance), and how to handle stressful situations (e.g. family gatherings, play dates). Parents will come away from the workshop feeling more knowledgeable and better equipped to support their child.
