March 23, 2026
2:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. CST via Zoom
This workshop provides an overview of evidence-based approaches to the treatment and intervention of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Building on foundational knowledge of OCD’s presentation and mechanisms, participants will learn how to conceptualize treatment through the lens of cognitive-behavioral and neurobiological models. The program will introduce participants to first-line interventions, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Therapy (ICBT), as well as family-based and developmental models such as Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE). The session will also address pharmacological and neuromodulation options, including commonly recommended medications, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). This session is designed to enhance participants’ awareness of available treatment modalities, enabling them to better identify, support, and refer clients in need of specialized OCD care.
