OCD is highly treatable, but many clinicians feel underprepared to deliver ERP with confidence. These workshops equip clinicians with practical, evidence-based tools for identifying, assessing, and treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and related interventions. Each program integrates lived experience, current research, and real-world application to help clinicians build confidence and clinical precision.
