Join Us for a Free Webinar: Times of Transition: Supporting Children and Adolescents with OCD During Back-to-School

Children and adolescents with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) often engage in repetitive actions or rituals to manage their anxiety, making it challenging to break from these routines. These behaviors can become more pronounced during periods of transition or stress, such as the shift from summer break to the school year. Dr. Bethany Watson will discuss how OCD impacts young people during these times of change and offer practical tools for parents, caregivers, and teachers to help children and adolescents manage and cope with their symptoms effectively.

Selective mutism (SM) is a relatively rare anxiety disorder in which children are unable to speak in most social situations, despite being comfortably and consistently verbal in more familiar settings, such as at home. For children with SM, the inability to speak in certain social situations is more than just shyness. Join our free webinar for an overview of Selective mutism, myths, exposure strategies, and in-school service recommendations.
