2024 Virtual OCD-UK Conference - Welcome to Hotel OCD-UK, flying the flag for recovery!

Family Room

Welcome to the Family Room. OCD doesn’t just affect the person suffering, it also affects their families and loved ones. This room will focus on offering support and information to loved ones, as well as information specifically designed for children and young people.

On this page you will be able to see the full agenda for both Friday and Saturday’s Family Room itinerary. Click on the presentation titles to register for the presentations you would like to attend. Please do keep checking back as we may add or change timings slightly right up until the day of the conference.

Our virtual conference is completely free of charge to attend live on the day, but should you find a presentation helpful, we welcome a small donation for each presentation you attend, to help us cover our platform costs.

Make a donation to OCD-UK

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 this year. 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.
