Live Author Q&A about Kids & OCD
April 29 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
What do you do when your child has a “tricky, sticky, picky” brain—one that pushes them to repeat rituals or worry nonstop about making the “right” choice?
Join us on Wednesday, April 29, for a free, live Q&A with Marni L. Jacob, PhD, ABPP, author of What to Do When You Have a Tricky, Sticky, Picky Brain: Cognitive Behavioral Strategies to Help Kids with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, an engaging and comprehensive resource to help readers understand and effectively manage OCD.
This book translates the gold-standard treatment—Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—into clear, practical strategies tailored for children and teens with OCD, while also incorporating the latest advances in research and clinical practice.
In this session, participants will explore:
- Practical, evidence-based tools that kids, parents, and clinicians can use
- Common and lesser-known presentations of OCD
- Doubts, barriers, and resistance that often arise during treatment
- Strategies to build motivation and encourage follow-through
- Relatable guidance to help families navigate life with OCD
What to Do When You Have a Tricky, Sticky, Picky Brain is a thorough, accessible, and empowering guide that helps young people regain a sense of control over OCD —while also serving as an invaluable resource for the parents, educators, and clinicians that support them.
