OCD can quietly take hold of a young person’s life—fueling anxiety, avoidance, and self-doubt. But with the right approach, recovery is within reach.
Join Lisa Coyne, PhD, Harvard-affiliated psychologist and leading expert in child and adolescent OCD, for this free, expert-led training on proven, effective methods that help kids and teens move forward with confidence.
Why This Training Matters
OCD affects up to 2% of children and teens, yet many struggle for years before receiving proper treatment. Without early and effective intervention, symptoms often intensify, affecting learning, family life, and emotional growth.
This session highlights the tools that work—especially exposure and response prevention (ERP) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)—to help kids and families move toward confidence, calm, and meaningful change. Dr. Coyne shares developmentally appropriate strategies, ways to engage families, and guidance for overcoming common treatment challenges.
