Thank you to everyone who attended the 3rd webinar of our new series last night. Professor Adam Radomsky delivered an open Q&A webinar where we invited people to ask questions about OCD.

There was such a broad range of questions covering all angles of OCD and it was a great session! Thank you to Professor Adam Radomsky, and all attendees!

Next up, we are welcoming Professor Christine Purdon. The title of the webinar is ‘Overcoming Common Difficulties in Doing Exposure with Response Prevention’.

The topic: Exposure with response prevention (ERP) is one of the most effective strategies for overcoming obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but it can be challenging to start, to advance, and to endure the distress, for good reason! In this talk we will review the reasons ERP can be challenging and discuss strategies for overcoming these difficulties.

We are very much looking forward to hosting this webinar, and you can now register as registration is officially - open!
