SUMMARY
This 3-hour training provides a practical, clinically grounded overview of OCD, including how it presents across subtypes, how to differentiate it from other conditions, and how to identify when referral for specialized treatment is appropriate.
The training is designed to help providers feel more confident recognizing OCD in its less obvious forms, and to better understand the treatment approaches that lead to meaningful change.
The goals are to increase provider confidence in identifying OCD across a range of presentations, improve differentiation between OCD, anxiety, and related conditions, and to support more accurate and timely referrals for evidence-based treatment.
OBJECTIVES
Participants will be able to:
- Identify core features of OCD, including intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the anxiety-compulsion cycle
- Recognize common OCD subtypes (e.g., harm, relationship, contamination, existential, “pure O”)
- Differentiate OCD from generalized anxiety, trauma-related rumination, and other overlapping presentations
- Understand the principles of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and why it is the gold standard treatment
- Identify when a referral for specialized OCD treatment is appropriate
