Conference Invite: Unique Conference Specifically For Family Members Of OCD Sufferers, UK

OCD-UK is delighted to announce the first event of its kind, an OCD conference with a difference, a conference specifically aimed at the family, friends and carers of people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This unique conference, a day of education and support, takes place in Reading, Berkshire on Saturday 25th July 2009 where some of the country"s leading OCD specialists will be involved in imparting their expertise, advice and experience. OCD-UK vice-chair, Vanessa Rogers, herself a mother of an OCD sufferer spoke about the event "It will be a whole-day event and we will endeavour to cover every aspect of this hitherto much ignored subject - looking at how each family dynamic permutation may create its own problems and will need specialist concentration on how the family member can learn to be the therapist at home, supporting their loved one in the challenges of fighting OCD". Chief-Executive, Ashley Fulwood commented, "OCD in many cases can affect the immediate family in the same negative way that it does the sufferer directly, and that can be both detrimental and damaging to relationships whether a parent, a partner or just a friend, this conference aims to provide information for all family dynamics."
