SPACE: A Parenting Group to Reduce Child Anxiety Began September 29th
It’s hard to watch our kids be worried and afraid, and it’s our first instinct to want to protect them. SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is an evidence-based program that helps parents know when and how best to encourage their kids to face their fears. In this small treatment group format, parents will learn these skills while sharing support from other parents facing similar challenges and questions. Both parents are encouraged to attend sessions, so as to learn techniques together and increase the effectiveness of the therapy. This is a parent-only group that will treat child anxiety.
This group will:
- Be run by Dr. Ben Johnides
- Begin Thursday, Sept 29th
- Consist of 60-minute virtual sessions, on Thursdays, 12-1 pm
- Be held completely online, using Zoom
- Include 3-5 sets of parents (multiple parents may attend under the same fee)
- Last 12 weeks in total; participants must commit to the full 12 weeks
- Cost $100 per session, reimbursable by out-of-network insurance benefits
- Be payable upfront or according to an agreed-upon payment plan
