The Advanced Forum is a three-day event organized by the IOCDF to enhance the clinical skills of mental health professionals who have attended a Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) or a similar level of training. Attendees should feel comfortable diagnosing and assessing OCD and providing evidence-based treatment, including Exposure and Response Prevention.
Each Advanced Forum explores a different theme, and this training will dive into advanced skills and challenges in treating pediatric OCD.
Topic-specific lectures from leading pediatric OCD experts
Case presentations from attendees & live consultations
Q&A panels with expert clinicians
Networking and connection with other advanced clinicians
Thank you to our generous sponsor for this event, OCD SoCal!

Scholarships Available
The IOCDF is committed to increasing access to OCD and related disorders treatment for underserved communities in the United States. In service of this commitment, we will grant several scholarships to clinicians who are people of color, who practice therapy in languages other than English, and/or who work with a significant portion of underserved patients (e.g. patients of color, those with public insurance, those of a low socioeconomic status, etc.).
If accepted, scholarship recipients will be able to attend the Advanced Forum for $125, and will receive a free year of professional membership with the IOCDF. Should you be selected for the scholarship and have already registered, you will be refunded the registration fee less $125.
