REGISTRATION CLOSES APRIL 5TH. This in-person continuing education training is designed for mental health professionals working with children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Creative ERP for Kids focuses on developmentally informed, evidence-based strategies for assessing and treating pediatric OCD, with an emphasis on increasing engagement, motivation, and confidence in therapy.
