WHAT IS "SPACE???"
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)
is an exciting and effective treatment program designed at the Yale Child Study Center for parents.
In this structured program, parents (and other caregivers) learn how to change the way they interact with children and teens struggling with anxiety disorders (including separation anxiety, OCD, and social anxiety). By learning how to respond more supportively and decrease the ways that they accommodate their child's anxiety, parents see changes quickly and develop tools that they can apply to a variety of challenges that their kids face.
While kids and teens may engage in their own individual therapy during this time, they do not participate in the SPACE treatment and therapy for the child is not required. This option can be particularly helpful when a child is not yet ready to participate in therapy and/or affordability of long-term individual services is a concern.
