Navigating Challenges When Working with Parents

The significance of involving parents and other caregivers in the treatment of children and adolescents with OCD is well-recognized. Therapists engaged in this work often encounter various complexities while assisting caregivers in understanding, collaborating, and reducing OCD accommodations. This webinar aims to assist pediatric OCD therapists in enhancing their clinical practice. Dr. Fullerton and Dr. Collier will explore caregiver roles in treatment, highlight common clinical challenges faced during treatment, and offer practical strategies to address them. Active discussion is encouraged throughout the presentation so we can help you where you need it most!
