SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) was developed by Dr. Eli Liebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center. Parents who participate in SPACE will learn skills and tools to help their child overcome anxiety, OCD or related problems.
The treatment focuses on changes that parents can make to their own behavior, they do not need to make their child change.
The two main changes that parents learn to make in SPACE treatment are to respond more supportively to their anxious child and to reduce the accommodations they have been making to the child symptoms.
Whole Child Colorado plans to begin offering SPACE sessions to parents in January 2024. Email Jamie@WholeChildColorado.org if you would like to be added to the waitlist.
