Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in Health and Social Care Overview

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood, but in reality, it’s a complex mental health condition that can deeply affect an individual’s daily life. Our training course explores what OCD really is, how it manifests, and how care professionals can provide appropriate, empathetic support.

Learners will explore the nature of obsessions and compulsions, potential causes, and the emotional and practical impact of OCD. Split into three focused units, the course also examines treatment options, self-care strategies, and how to help individuals within care settings. CPD-certified and accessible online, the course is ideal for health and social care staff in a range of settings and includes a knowledge check to consolidate learning.
