SPACE 2-Day Training Workshop

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a parent-based treatment for childhood and adolescent anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder that has been found to be as efficacious as individual cognitive-behavioral therapy.

This 2-day online workshop, offered by Dr. Eli Lebowitz of the Yale Child Study Center will cover all the essentials of delivering SPACE in a reliable and effective manner. The workshop will include case presentation, video excerpts, and simulations of treatment components.
