ONE WEEK TO GO – 5-Week DBT and SPACE informed Parenting Course for Parents of Struggling Adult Children
Our next 5-week parenting course cycle for parents of struggling adult children begins October 27th, 2026 12:00–1:00 pm EST.

This course is designed for parents who have exhausted typical options and feel unsure how to effectively support an adult child with chronic mental health concerns, high-risk behaviors, or significant functional impairment. Drawing from Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the program provides a structured, skills-focused framework to shift entrenched family patterns while preserving the parent–adult child relationship.

Over 5 weeks, participants will learn to:
• Understand how biological vulnerabilities and environmental factors contribute to “stuck” interaction patterns with adult children.
• Reduce escalation and conflict while adjusting expectations and roles in a developmentally appropriate way.
• Establish or revise reasonable household expectations for all family members, including limits around time, finances, and caregiving.
• Decrease unhelpful accommodation behaviors and increase supportive, autonomy-promoting responses to the adult child.

Upon completion of the initial series, parents may elect to join ongoing education and support groups for continued skills practice and peer support.

DBT skills training isn’t just an adjunct to individual therapy—it has research support as a stand-alone intervention. CEBT offers both IN PERSON and VIRTUAL DBT skills groups for clients who work with community therapists.

Here are three reasons to consider referring your client to a DBT skills group at CEBT:

1️⃣ Research supports skills training on its own
Studies of stand-alone DBT skills groups have found reductions in anxiety symptoms and improvements in quality of life, supporting the value of skills training beyond its role within comprehensive DBT.

2️⃣ Emotion regulation is a meaningful mechanism of change
Research indicates that improvements in emotion regulation help account for changes in substance use, depressive symptoms, and social functioning—highlighting the clinical relevance of directly teaching these skills.

3️⃣ Clients maintain their existing therapeutic relationship
At CEBT, clients continue working with their current primary therapist while attending a DBT skills group. This allows you to add skills-focused support without transferring their individual care.

Contact CEBT to learn more about options for attending in person or virutally! Email [email protected] or call 216 544 1321 extension 2010.

When someone you love is living with an eating disorder, knowing how to help can feel overwhelming. Do you push, accommodate, or wait? How do you support recovery while caring for your own well-being?

Join Amy Kalasunas, LPCC-S, CCMHC, DBT-LBC Certified Clinician, for a compassionate, practical presentation on understanding and reducing family accommodation—the changes caregivers make to ease distress that may unintentionally keep eating-disorder patterns going.

Participants will learn:
- Why accommodation develops and how it affects families.
- Practical tools for managing caregiver distress during challenging moments.
- Language for communicating support while holding clear expectations.
- A structured approach to reducing accommodation, one targeted change at a time.

This presentation is for parents and loved ones supporting individuals of all ages with restrictive eating disorders, binge-purge disorders, ARFID, or other forms of disordered eating.

School refusal is real, and it can leave families feeling exhausted, isolated, and unsure of what to do next.

As the school year gets underway, many parents are watching their child or teen struggle with anxiety around attending school. They may be facing tearful mornings, repeated reassurance-seeking, missed days, escalating conflict, or a family routine increasingly shaped by anxiety.

Parents do not have to navigate this alone.

SPACE, or Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions, is an evidence-based, parent-based treatment developed at Yale by Dr. Eli Lebowitz. SPACE helps parents support a child or teen with anxiety, OCD, or school refusal without requiring the child to attend sessions. The sessions are for parents alone and span a specific time-limited curriculum.

Rather than relying on blame, punishment, or power struggles, SPACE teaches parents how to:
- Respond calmly and supportively when anxiety is high
- Reduce anxiety-driven accommodations gradually and compassionately
- Support school attendance while protecting connection and trust
- Respond to distress without unintentionally reinforcing avoidance
- Help their child build confidence facing worries, separation, social fears, OCD rituals, sleep fears, and more

Accommodations, such as allowing repeated school absences, offering constant reassurance, changing routines to avoid distress, or staying with a child until they fall asleep, are understandable efforts to help. They often provide short-term relief but can unintentionally keep anxiety going over time.

With practical scripts, step-by-step plans, and collaborative guidance, SPACE helps parents make meaningful changes that support greater independence and resilience.
