  • SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and is a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related problems.

    Who is SPACE for?

    SPACE aims to treat children and adolescents with anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although children do not attend SPACE group sessions - When SPACE treatment is successful children feel less anxious and function better. 

    Some of the main anxiety-related problems treated with SPACE: 

    • Separation anxiety

    • Social anxiety

    • Generalized anxiety

    • Fears and phobias

    • Panic disorder and Agoraphobia

    • Selective mutism

    • Obsessive-compulsive disorder

    • Picky Eating (ARFID)

    ​Who participates in treatment?

    Parents (and other caregivers) participate in SPACE treatment sessions. In most cases, the child or adolescent does not need to attend the treatment sessions.
