SUPPORT FOR FAMILY & CARERS
Caring for Someone With OCD Is Tough
We offer proven, effective advice and support to carers, parents and partners who are likely to feel helpless and unable to cope.
​
OCD is a condition which can involve carers to a large extent and create a complicated system of inter-dependence. Informing and advising carers can be a significant part of the process of recovery for all involved.
HOW ARE YOU COPING?

Carers Are a Vital Part of the Recovery Process
We involve families and partners at every stage because OCD rarely affects just one person. Understanding how to support someone with OCD, without accidentally reinforcing it, is a skill in itself, and it's one we teach alongside every client's own treatment plan.
