Witnessing a loved one suffering from OCD is one of the most baffling experiences in life. What happens when he/she does not want to engage in treatment or outright refuses help? What if, no matter how difficult the situation gets, treatment becomes even more scary than OCD itself? Family intervention could be the only hope. Taking the correct steps could make the difference between recovering or utter deterioration. But decisions that may upset a loved one who is already suffering may feel impossible, even when they are clearly right. In fact, despite better judgment, family members will actually become part of the problem by participating in rituals or other behaviors, thus becoming entangled in OCD's web.  This workshop will teach family members several strategies that to get out of OCD’s web and help their loved ones.
