Live OCD & Anxiety Lecture Series: SPACE – Parent Based Treatment for Child Anxiety and OCD
This talk focuses on the role of parental behaviors in childhood anxiety and OCD. Highlighting the prevalence and comorbidity of these problems in children, the presentation underscores the importance of reducing family accommodation—a common parental response to a child’s anxiety that often exacerbates symptoms. SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) focuses on increasing parental support while decreasing accommodating behaviors, aiming to foster a child’s independence and confidence. The talk will provide an introduction to the rationale, evidence-base, and key steps of SPACE treatment.

Live OCD & Anxiety Lecture Series: Clinical Aspects and Treatment of Tourette’s Disorders
Tourette’s and related tic disorders are relatively common and often impairing conditions. While pharmacotherapy has historically been considered the first-line (and only) active treatment for tics, medication use in children has been limited by safety and tolerability concerns. Over the past two decades behavioral treatments, most notably, the Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), have demonstrated efficacy and tolerability for tics in youth and adults, leading to designation as a first-line treatment, when available, for treating tics by the American Academy of Neurology and European and Canadian medical academies. This presentation will review the clinical aspects of Tourette’s and other tic disorders most relevant for treatment and describe the theoretical underpinings, implementation, benefits, and long-term outcomes of CBIT with reference to other treatment modalities. Core treatment elements will be demonstrated to illustrate their role in treatment. Following completion of the presentation, attendees should be able to describe the core components of this treatment.

Live OCD & Anxiety Lecture Series: Nuances of OCD treatment in Complex Cases
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is rarely a standalone condition. Complex cases often present with comorbidities such as severe anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, Tic Disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, and sometimes a combination of these and other conditions. In this presentation, we will explore the nuances of treating OCD in complex cases, highlighting the importance of clinical expertise in recognizing and addressing these comorbidities and adapting treatment. We will discuss tailored interventions that account for the interplay between conditions, ensuring more comprehensive and effective care for individuals facing these challenging symptom presentations and very complex cases.
