Bradley Hospital’s Pediatric Anxiety Research Center (PARC) recently held its annual reunion for graduates of its Partial Program for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Related Disorders. The reunion drew over 250 former participants and their family members.
The event was a huge success drawing over 250 former patients and their family members, many came from out of state. The purpose of the reunion was to provide an opportunity for youth and their families to come together with staff and other graduates to celebrate their achievements since graduating from PARC.
