NEW PROGRAM FOR ANXIETY & OCD

Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)

Are you the parent of a child impacted by anxiety or OCD?

Join us for an 8 week programme, Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), to learn skills to help your child overcome anxiety, OCD or related challenges. This group is aimed at parents of 7-13 year olds.

This programme focuses on changes  parents or whānau can make to their own behaviour and does not require input from your child. The focus is on learning how to respond supportively when anxiety shows up and reduce behaviours that increase anxiety.

  • Separation anxiety/ social anxiety

  • Fears and phobias

  • Panic attacks

  • Selective mutism
