Family Accommodation

 Broadcast live on Saturday 27th November 2021

Speakers

Dr Maxine Howard, Clinical Psychologist
Dr Sasha Walters, Senior Clinical Psychologist

Presentation subject

As you know, OCD doesn’t just affect young people; it frequently draws family members into distressing and impairing rituals and routines. In this talk, we will explore the concept of family ‘accommodation’ and ways that families can support their loved one to stand up to the OCD bully.

We know that right now we are all living through difficult times financially, and it’s for that reason we have chosen to make our conference free access this year. Whilst the conference is free access, the charity does still have to pay Zoom and Vimeo license fees which power our online conference, so if you are in a position to make a donation of any amount, we would be incredibly grateful. It is only through donations, and the participation of our supporters fundraising activities that OCD-UK can survive, so we remain incredibly grateful for your consideration.
