Overview:

• This introductory workshop equips participants with essential skills to recognize, diagnose, and treat Pediatric Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using evidence-based methods.

• Participants will learn the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for OCD and evidence-based assessments to identify the disorder in children and teens.

• Through a blend of theory and practice, participants will explore Attachment-Centered Play Therapy, integrating Attachment Theory and Cognitive Behavioral Theory to develop effective interventions for individuals and families impacted by OCD. The workshop emphasizes the importance of involving the entire family in treatment to address attachment wounds exacerbated by OCD symptoms.

• Special attention will be given to supporting neurodivergent children and teens with OCD, offering tailored strategies to meet their unique needs. Participants will leave with a comprehensive toolbox of play therapy interventions to enhance self-esteem, strengthen relationships, and empower clients to regain control over their lives.

• Using a combination of lecture and experiential activities, participants will gain practical skills and confidence to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children, teens, and families affected by OCD. This workshop is suitable for practitioners seeking introductory training in ERP and Attachment-Centered Play Therapy, with a focus on addressing pediatric OCD within the family context.
