Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a serious anxiety-related condition where a person experiences frequent intrusive and unwelcome obsessional thoughts, often followed by repetitive compulsions, impulses or urges. Based on current estimates for the UK population, there are potentially around 741,504 people living with OCD at any one time.

To celebrate OCD Week of Action, Liverpool SOcial Care Partnership (LSCP) has developed a half-day session to support organisations. These sessions are a mixture of practical and theory with opportunities, where appropriate, for delegates to share their experiences.
