Welcome to the OCD-UK Parents Education Project (PEP Talk)

The Parents Education Project is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund for parents of children with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

We are offering parents the opportunity to attend a FREE full day workshop to help them understand OCD in an informative education programme whilst waiting for treatment to begin. The workshop will include education on the following:

What is OCD
How OCD is treated
Pathways to access treatment
What parents can do to help

The delivering of this course will send parents away better educated, informed and empowered to understand their child's OCD.

The project is funded for parents with children aged 5-18 (CAMHS age) suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Check the map opposite or display the calendar to see when and where courses will take place. We will be adding more locations across the East Midlands throughout 2020 and 2021.

Course Locations

We plan at least eight events in 2020 and a further eight in 2021. So please keep revisiting this page for updates of further locations and course dates.

Project Coronavirus Update

We have made the decision to temporarily close bookings for our parents’ workshops. There are still spaces left on different workshops across the East Midlands, however, due to the uncertainty that COVID-19 has faced us with, we are closing the bookings until further notice. We will be sure to let you know once the bookings are open again. In the meantime, if you are a parent of a child suffering from OCD, and would like to talk to us, please get in touch at parents@ocduk.org. Thank you.

Educational Workshop FAQ's

Yes! The project is completely funded by the National Lottery Community Fund which means every workshop will be free of charge, we will even provide lunch and refreshments. All we ask is if you book on to one of our courses and can no longer attend, to let us know so we can free up spaces for other parents. Donations to OCD-UK are of course welcomed so that we can expand the project in due course.

No. Although the workshops will only take place in the East Midlands, we are offering the opportunity for all parents across the country to attend if they are able to (providing the child suffering from OCD is 18 or under). Unfortunately we are unable to cover travel costs for any course attendees regardless of location. We hope to expand this project outside the East Midlands in the near future.

This presentation, specifically for parents of children with OCD, took place at the 2019 OCD-UK conference. To watch this and other presentations please click here.

This project was made possible through funding by a grant from The National Lottery Community Fund.
