OCD Busters is an evidence-based CBT treatment for youth aged 7-17 years with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The treatment was developed at Griffith University by Associate Professor Lara Farrell and Professor Allison Waters and has been delivered and scientifically evaluated since 2008. The program is delivered in a variety of formats including groups, weekly individual sessions and more recently in a concentrated format of 2 to 3 intensive sessions lasting 3 hours each.
The Pre-schoolers Overcoming Phobias (POP) program is part of a nationally funded study investigating a one-session treatment of Child Specific Phobias. The study aims to learn more about the course of childhood fears in young children and involves testing a novel, brief intervention for childhood phobias, which has proven effective in older children and with adults. The study is being run by a team of international experts in child anxiety, led by Associate Professor Lara Farrell, and offers free assessment and treatment for children ages 3 to 5 years with a specific phobia.
Both of these programs are open to the public. For more information about either of these programs visit the Griffith University website or call Associate Professor Lara Farrel on 07 5678 8317.
