About This Course

Exposure-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been established as the evidence-based psychosocial treatment of choice for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents (Bergez et al.,2020, Franklin et al., 2015). This workshop will teach attendees the components of Exposure and Response Prevention for Pediatric OCD, including providing psychoeducation, treatment planning, conducting exposures, reducing and eliminating rituals, and parental involvement. The workshop will target how to make treatment child-friendly and will target common barriers to effective treatment (Chiappini, Erika A, 2021; Gola et al., 2016; Keleher J, Jassi A, Krebs, G, 2020).

This is a live, interactive webinar course that will take place on April 10, 2026 at 10am EST. It will be recorded for subsequent posting as a self-paced, on-demand course.
