Parent Reflections- from experience of parenting a child with OCD
The presentation will be facilitated by a member of the OCD-UK team.
Presentation subject
This workshop will be facilitated by Laurenne and Sarah, who both have lived experience of parenting children with severe OCD. The aim is to create opportunities for parents to share experiences, information and support within an informal style workshop. A space to reflect on what has been helpful alongside treatment, themes may include education, interests, siblings, hope and recovery. Please join us to listen-in, ask questions and share positive experiences to support other parents. We look forward to seeing you.
