Starting middle school is hard enough when you don’t know anyone; it’s even harder when you’re shy. A contemporary middle-grade graphic novel for fans of Guts and Real Friends about how dealing with anxiety and OCD can affect everyday life.

The ACT Workbook for Teens With OCD is a valuable tool for adolescents and young adults learning how to overcome OCD related compulsions and avoidant behaviors. An activity–based workbook, it teaches adolescents that there is a moment of choice – even when they feel there isn’t – where they can choose how to respond to their obsessions. Based on proven methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Therapy (ERP), adolescents uncover the necessary skills to cope with their behaviors, instead of feeling defeated by them. Easy and understandable, activities include identifying priorities and empowering teens to embark on solutions independently.
