The OCD awareness course for parents and caregivers is a practical, evidence-based programme designed to help families better understand and support loved ones living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. It offers a compassionate approach that blends psychology, communication, and real-world strategies for managing the emotional and practical challenges of OCD.

Throughout the course, learners will explore how OCD develops, the difference between normal routines and clinical compulsions, and the impact it has on family life. You’ll gain insight into identifying early signs of OCD in children and adolescents, learning when and how to seek professional help. The course also introduces proven treatment options, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP), presented in a clear, accessible format.

Beyond theory, this course focuses on action. You’ll learn to communicate more effectively with loved ones, reduce stigma, and create a supportive home environment that promotes progress rather than frustration. The course also includes sections on navigating schools, understanding educational accommodations, and working collaboratively with teachers and mental health professionals.

By the end of the programme, you’ll have a practical toolkit to manage daily challenges, set healthy boundaries, and care for your own wellbeing as a parent or caregiver. You’ll also be better equipped to advocate for your child’s needs within the healthcare and educational systems.

Upon completion, learners receive a free course completion certificate, with optional premium certificates and transcripts available for those seeking professional recognition. Plus, you’ll enjoy access to 5-star rated 24/7 email support, ensuring help and guidance whenever you need it most.
