SPACE ARFID 1-Day Workshop
Share this event
This 1-day online workshop, offered by Dr. Yaara Shimshoni of the Yale Child Study Center will cover the adaptation of SPACE to parents of children with: Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
**NOTE: THESE ARE ARFID ONLY TRAININGS - THEY DO NOT COVER SPACE FOR FAILURE TO LAUNCH (FTL)**
Course Level: Advanced
Of note: Both the treatment protocol and the evidence base for SPACE-ARFID are in earlier stages of development, relative to SPACE for childhood anxiety/OCD.
The workshop is only open to providers who have previously attended a (2-day) SPACE training workshop.
Room is limited and we anticipate that this workshop will fill up very quickly. If you would like to participate please register as soon as possible.
