E-mailNEW YORK -- The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is hosting a free webinar “The Science of Parenting and Parent-Based Treatment for Childhood Anxiety Disorders” on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, from 2pm to 3pm ET. Eli R. Lebowitz, Ph.D., Yale School of Medicine, Associate Professor, Child Study Center and 2013 Young Investigator Grant recipient, will be the presenter. Anxiety disorders are exceedingly prevalent in children and adolescents. Anxious children rely heavily on their parents for help in coping with anxiety, and parents frequently become entangled in their children’s symptoms through the process of family accommodation. Dr. Lebowitz will review cutting-edge research on neurobiological systems that drive these patterns of interactions between parents and anxious children, including the circuitry and chemistry of the brain. This webinar will introduce SPACE, a novel and efficacious parent-based treatment for childhood anxiety disorders focused on reducing accommodation and increasing supportive responses to childhood anxiety symptoms. Jeffrey Borenstein, M.D., President and CEO of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation and Host and Executive Producer of the public television series “Healthy Minds,” will be the moderator. Join by phone or on the web at bbrf.org/junewebinar.
