Parenting a child with OCD

Nip in the Bud

What

Kitty talks about their family's experience of OCD. Mental health has had an immense impact on Kitty and Daniel Nabarro’s lives as their daughter first displayed OCD symptoms at the age of eight but wasn't diagnosed until well into her late teens precisely because there was a lack of information about children’s mental health conditions at that time.

As a result of their experiences, they got involved in OCD Action and then set up Nip in the Bud to help support children with a variety of conditions. This is one of our real-life experience films but we've also included other films about OCD here on the Young Foundation platform.
