Standing Up to the OCD Monster!

June 6 7:00-8:00pm

facilitated by: Paige Clutton

A psychoeducational workshop for both children and their parents about how OCD may be impacting your family. The purpose of this webinar will be to hopefully foster the beginnings of gaining some confidence and bravery for talking back to your OCD. I hope to help provide common language for children and parents to use when communicating about some of the struggles you may be experiencing when OCD is present within your household.

In this talk you will learn:

• How OCD can present and differing forms of it

• The common cycle of OCD (obsessive thoughts and compulsions)

• Getting to know your core fear

• Ways for parents to support their kiddos with these challenges

• Unhooking your thoughts

• Setting the intention to live boldly

• Community resources for support with OCD
