While it is hard to raise teens, it can be even harder for parents of teens with OCD. 

Dr. Katia Moritz and Dr. Marni Jacob discussed ways to approach and support teenagers with OCD during this Instagram live on @nbiweston.com.

We hope this event provided a guide for parents of teens who struggle with OCD, so that parents can support a child in managing their OCD and seeking treatment.
