Untreated scrupulosity and maladaptive perfectionism often result in increased fear, avoidance, guilt, depression, relational strain, and disruptions in spiritual well-being. This conference seeks to provide Utah clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of religious OCD and maladaptive perfectionism, equipping them to assess these conditions accurately, conceptualize cases with cultural and spiritual sensitivity, and implement evidence-based treatments. The goal for this conference is to increase practitioner’s competence to treat scrupulosity, resulting in them being better prepared to help individuals and families reduce suffering, deepen connection, and thrive within their faith and cultural contexts.

OBJECTIVES
1. Participants will be able to accurately assess and differentiate scrupulosity and maladaptive perfectionism from normative religious devotion through culturally and spiritually informed case conceptualization. 
2. Participants will learn how to apply evidence-based interventions to reduce fear-based rituals, avoidance, and perfectionistic behaviors to better serve populations within religious contexts.
