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.
