Small Brooklyn Webinar: Helping Kids with OCD @ 1pm
Everyone worries about the “what ifs” sometimes. Many people have little rituals to ward away bad luck. But what happens when these behaviors take over our kids’ mood and time? How can we help them?
Dr. Rebecca Abbott-Sinclair of Small Brooklyn Psychology will introduce Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children, focusing on its symptoms, impact, and treatment. She will explore how OCD manifests through obsessions and compulsions, the ways it can interfere with a child’s daily life, and will help you distinguish between typical childhood worries and clinical OCD. This webinar will offer practical strategies for parents and educators, highlighting evidence-based treatments like Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Supportive Parenting for Childhood Anxious Emotions (SPACE). Participants will gain tools to support children both at home and school, promoting understanding and early intervention. Rebecca will save time for a Q&A session at the end, moderated by Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani.
When: Wednesday, October 2nd
Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm
