If your child is struggling with anxiety, extreme picky eating, or tummy troubles that no one seems to have answers for — or if you're the parent of a young adult who feels stuck — you're not alone, and you don't have to figure this out by yourself. This fall, Bay Area SPACE Treatment is running several parent-focused groups, each grounded in evidence-based approaches that work even when your child isn't ready (or willing) to come to therapy themselves. Take a look below at what's available, and reach out if you have questions about which group might be the right fit for your family.
