SUMMARY:IOCDF Advanced Forum on Pediatric OCD
DESCRIPTION:The Advanced Forum is a three-day event organized by the IOCDF to enhance the clinical skills of mental health professionals who have attended a Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) or a similar level of training. Attendees should feel comfortable diagnosing and assessing OCD and providing evidence-based treatment\, including exposure and response prevention (ERP). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now open!\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile BTTIs are kept small to enhance learning and promote a comfortable environment to learn a new treatment modality\, the revamped Advanced Forum is significantly larger (expected attendance 200)\, providing an opportunity to connect with other professionals treating OCD and the leaders in the field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlong with lectures\, Advanced Forums include Q&A panels\, case presentations and live consultation from experts on select cases submitted by attendees. \nEach Advanced Forum focus on a specific topic of interest\, to deepen the practice of clinicians who are comfortable treating OCD and related disorders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExamples from previous years’ topics include: \n\nTreatment engagement\, ambivalence\, and resistance in OCD (Boston\, MA\, 2015)\nWorking with OCD-related disorders and co-occurring conditions (Boston\, MA\, 2017)\nPromoting Treatment Engagement in OCD-Related Disorders (Belmont\, MA\, 2018)\nFlexibility Within Fidelity: Adapting Evidence-Based OCD Treatments to Client Factors (Toronto\, Canada\, 2024)\n2025 Advanced Forum on Pediatric OCD (Long Beach\, CA\, October 23–25\, 2025) – Register Today
