Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Kids & Teens with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
$200.00

Half-day virtual training: Applying ERP to pediatric populations

This half-day advanced training offers a deeper dive into applying Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques to pediatric populations with OCD, from kids as young as 3, to older teens and college-age patients. Led by experts in the field, the program is designed to help clinicians who already have familiarity with ERP learn how to engage young clients, make developmental modifications to the traditional ERP treatment protocol, and work with caregivers more effectively. This training will not cover the basics of delivering ERP, and is designed to give providers that next level of nuance and skill in working with OCD in pediatric populations.
