OCD Training

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition which can be misunderstood. Schools play a huge role in identifying the condition; there is currently a significant unmet need for early identification, awareness and intervention for pupils who have OCD.

The content of the course will explore OCD from the initial diagnosis, factors which can bring on the onset of the condition, living with OCD and ways to facilitate and make adaptations in school for OCD when it presents.

Aims of the course:

· To develop an insight into OCD and the stigma that can come with the condition.

· To understand the language to use and implement strategies which can support students through making reasonable adjustments.
