Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of a mindfulness-based skills training program for parents of children with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The investigators will explore if parents involved in this group experience any change in their levels of stress, feelings of being an effective parent and family relationships compared to a waiting list control period. The investigators will look at how the family manages OCD in their lives. In particular, if mindfulness skills training will help increase the parents ability to tolerate distress in their child secondary to OCD and as such reduce the family accommodation of OCD. As family accommodation is an important negative prognostic predictor for children with OCD, changes in OCD symptom severity and functional impact in these child will also be measured.
