SPACE Parenting Group
The SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) group is a 7-session group across 8 weeks on Wednesdays from 12-1:30 p.m. for parents/ caregivers of children with anxiety or OCD (children ages 7-14). The next session starts on April 10, 2024. This group focuses on supporting parents to change the way they respond to their child’s anxiety and OCD symptoms. The SPACE program is evidence-based and has been demonstrated to be as effective in treating childhood anxiety and OCD as individual therapy.
