Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotion
We are offering a parenting workshop for parents of children with anxiety and/or OCD. We will be using the Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) approach, which has been shown to be effective at treating childhood anxiety/OCD. Your children/teens do not attend the sessions, but the aim is for them to directly benefit from your attendance. You can read more about this approach here: https://www.spacetreatment.net/
