Join us in Understanding Obsessive Compulsive Tendencies with System-Involved Youth and Young Adults
About this Event

Klasey Consulting is partnering with Lincoln Families to bring this training Understanding Obsessive Compulsive Tendencies with System-Involved Youth to Alameda, Solano, Mendocino, Lake, Contra Costa, Humboldt, Tuolumne and Calaveras providers.Given the increasing awareness of neurodivergence and more youth being diagnosed with autism and ADHD, it’s crucial for social service providers to know how to differentiate traits. There can be overlapping traits amongst individuals who are autistic and those who struggle with obsessions and compulsions. This training will provide an overview of obsessive-compulsive tendencies and how to differentiate the two.
