Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) is a parent-focused intervention designed to help reduce childhood and adolescent anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  Unlike traditional models that work directly with the child, SPACE focuses solely on coaching parents in how to respond to their child’s anxiety in more supportive (and less accommodating) ways. So often when I’ve worked with parents whose teens are struggling with anxiety they feel helpless and SPACE gives them a role that’s active, compassionate and effective.
