SPACE Treatment Group

What Is SPACE?

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a parent-based treatment developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related problems.

Research shows that the SPACE treatment protocol is just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which requires motivation on the part of the child. SPACE focuses on the one person you can change — yourself.
