Are you a clinician hoping to improve your training in the treatment of OCD?
OCD Kansas is very excited to announce that we will be offering two scholarships to licensed psychotherapists in the State of Kansas and adjacent areas to attend a future Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI). The BTTI is affiliated with the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and provides state-of-the-art education and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for OCD. We recognize that Kansas is in tremendous need of mental health professionals who are trained and able to treat those affected by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Please consider applying today and/or share this announcement with potential candidates! Continuing education credits are offered to attendees, and the scholarship will offer you a reserved spot at a future BTTI.
To learn more about the BTTI program, please use the following link:
What you can expect from the training:
• A faculty of some of the most experienced and well respected clinicians in North America
• A working knowledge of Exposure and Response Prevention, the evidenced-based treatment for OCD
• Case supervision
• A rewarding experience with an intimate classroom environment of 30 colleagues
What to do to be considered for the scholarship:
• Submit a ʻLetter of Intentʼ to register with the BTTI addressing all bulleted points below
• Describe your current practice including the types of clients seen and primary treatment philosophy and methodology
• The reasons for your interest in the training program, including why you should receive a scholarship for the BTTI
• The current geographic location of your practice with address and telephone number
• Limit your letter to two typed pages and submit it to OCD Kansas no later than May 31, 2019
Candidates who are chosen will receive a scholarship of $1000. Professional membership with the IOCDF is required and at the candidateʼs expense. The first $400 is to be allocated strictly for BTTI tuition. The remaining $600 is for travel expenses only. This is limited to lodging and airfare. At the conclusion of the BTTI, the candidate is required to submit a copy of their Certificate of Completion and all receipts for permissible expenses. Reimbursement will occur at that time. OCD Kansas reserves the right to interview all prospective candidates. Those who are chosen can expect to receive registration instructions by mail.
We are very excited and proud to offer this unique opportunity to mental health professionals in Kansas! The need for qualified OCD therapists is urgent. For questions, contact OCD Kansas at ocdkansas@gmail.com.

OCD Kansas Board
