Hello, a colleague and I are starting a virtual SPACE Parent group for parents of children with Anxiety disorders based in the Seattle area (of course, due to the nature of virtual groups, we can offer this more broadly). We are wondering if anyone who has established groups running would be open to share with us about how you are structuring your groups (session length, topics, number of attendees, etc) and things you have learned along the way that you wish you had known at the beginning. Thank you for your time and we appreciate this community.

Hi Eli,
I'm the graduate student who contacted you about a possible RCT of SPACE with selective mutism. I'm hoping I can also be added to this forum to hear what clinicians have done with SPACE virtually! Thank you so much!

Hi Eli,
I too just finished the February training. Thank you! It was probably one of the best, most practical trainings I have attended, and I am fairly seasoned. I was immediately able to incorporate some strategies with a couple of parents to begin to reframe their thinking. Next will be a full SPACE approach! :-)
I would also like to be added to the hidden forum.
Thanks!

Hi Eli- I would love to be added to the top-secret, hidden, SPACE forum :) Thanks!
I am currently offering a 5 week parent workshop on SPACE. It meets for one hour per week and has been really well received so far. I am currently running this for the second time and have a third time planned with people already registered for March. I would be happy to share more about my format if anyone is interested.
done! Please keep this conversation going by sharing plans, resources and materials, questions, experiences etc. What you post is very helpful to everyone bringing about these SPACE groups. Eli
Hi Eli, I am also interested in offering a parent group and would like to join the hidden forum! thank you, Colleen Hanson
Just gave you access Tara, you should be able to see the forum now on the main Forum page. Eli
Hello. I co-facilitated two SPACE groups here in Ireland before Covid and would be happy to share information if I can join the forum? The group took place weekly - for two hours. Parents were sorry to see it end and requested call back days on a couple of occasions - they found being in a group very supportive. We had a huge demand and we hope to establish more groups. As yet, I have not delivered one online (difficulties in agreeing suitable platforms in the agency where I work - Zoom is not permitted). I would be happy to discuss further if it would help. We found the structure very useful and very clear as we planned our sessions. I'm afraid I can't see how to join the separate forum. Tara.
Done!

Hi Eli, I'd love to join the group. I'm considering starting a group for parents as well and would love to collaborate on the details with others doing the same.
Hi, I just added you to another forum that is not visible to all and is dedicated to the issue of delivering SPACE in group format. You should now be able to see that forum and discuss this issue with others there.
PS Others interested in this topic who want to join that 'hidden' forum - let me know
