What happens when a child refuses therapy for OCD or anxiety? Learn how SPACE treatment helps parents reduce accommodation, support change, and move treatment forward even when a child isn’t willing to participate.

Is your child’s anxiety beginning to affect your family’s routines, relationships, or daily decisions? Learn how family accommodation develops, why it can unintentionally maintain anxiety and OCD, and how SPACE treatment helps parents respond in supportive, effective ways.

Many parents describe feeling as though they are constantly walking on eggshells. They may find themselves reorganizing routines, avoiding certain situations, or spending large amounts of time trying to prevent distress before it escalates. These efforts come from love and a desire to help. The problem is that some of the things families do to reduce anxiety in the short term can unintentionally strengthen it over time.

SPACE treatment was developed to help families change those patterns.
