What is DBT and
how can it help me?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) helps parents manage stress, respond more calmly to challenging situations, and improve communication within the family. Parents learn practical skills for emotional regulation, healthy boundaries, distress tolerance, and building stronger connections with their child.
What is SPACE?
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a parent-based
treatment program designed to help children and teens with anxiety, OCD, and related
challenges. SPACE teaches parents supportive ways to respond to anxiety while
gradually reducing accommodations that can unintentionally reinforce it.
What You’ll Gain:
- Practical strategies to help reduce your child’s anxiety
- How to support your child without accidentally increasing anxiety
- Mindfulness skills to stay grounded and effective
- Ways to manage your own stress and feel less overwhelmed
