20 years on: what are the lessons we have learned about OCD and how it can be helped?

 Friday 8th November 2024
 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Speaker

Professor Paul Salkovskis, University of Oxford
The presentation will be facilitated by a member of the OCD-UK team.

Presentation subject

OCD-UK is twenty years old in 2024, and in this presentation Professor Salkovskis will look back over the last 20 years of our understanding of OCD to see if it  has improved somewhat. Paul will consider what he has learned not only from research but also and more importantly from working with people experiencing OCD and overcoming it. It has been a story of slow but steady progress, with some bumps and wrong turns along the way.

We know that right now we are all living through difficult times financially, and it’s for that reason we have chosen to make our conference free access to watch live. Whilst the conference is free access, the charity does still have to pay Zoom and Vimeo license fees which power our online conference, so if you are in a position to make a donation of any amount, we would be incredibly grateful. It is only through donations, and the participation of our supporters fundraising activities that OCD-UK can survive, so we remain incredibly grateful for your consideration.
