SPACE

Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions

SPACE is a parent-based program for children and young people with anxiety, OCD, and other needs.

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) was pioneered by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center.

Parents and caregivers participate in SPACE. The child or young person does not need to attend treatment sessions.

Some problems treated with SPACE include:

  • Separation anxiety

  • Social anxiety

  • Generalized anxiety

  • Fears and phobias

  • Panic disorder and Agoraphobia

  • Selective mutism

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder


Treatment focuses on changes that parents and caregivers can make to their own behaviour, rather than focusing on the child’s behaviour exclusively. 

SPACE sessions teach how to respond more supportively to anxious young people and to minimise accommodations been made to behaviours.
