Online Parent Treatment Group

Our online parent group program is designed for parents of children and teens (7-17 years) with anxiety and/or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Research studies have shown that working with parents can effectively reduce children's anxiety and OCD symptoms. The group aims to help parents learn about child anxiety, identify helpful versus unhelpful parent accommodation behaviours, reduce unhelpful parental accommodation, and increase communication and support in other ways.

The group will be based on existing evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and the SPACE program developed by Dr Eli Lebowitz and colleagues at Yale University (https://www.spacetreatment.net/). 

The group will be facilitated by a clinical psychologist, online via Zoom. Sessions be approximately 90-minute in duration and will occur weekly across 6 weeks.
