OCD Support Groups

Support Group for Parents of Children with OCD

This is a biweekly ongoing support group for parents and caregivers of children (aged 6-17) who have OCD or phobias. The group purposes are:

  • to gain knowledge about how OCD and phobias work

  • to understand how ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) treatment works

  • to take an active role in your child’s treatment and recovery

  • to connect with other parents and caregivers for mutual support in order to feel less alone in the experience

You will be able to move from feelings of helplessness and distress, to confidently taking an active role in treatment based on understanding more clearly how the illness functions, and what kinds of strategies work.

Format: Zoom

Schedule: Group is currently forming. Start date and schedule will be determined based on participant availability
