Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST)

Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) is an intensive, family-centered treatment program designed for young people with behavioral problems, often involving delinquency or substance abuse. It focuses on addressing the multiple influences on a teenager's life, including family dynamics, school performance, and peer relationships. MST therapists work closely with families, providing support and strategies to improve communication, solve problems, and promote positive behaviors. The goal is to empower families to make lasting changes and help young individuals succeed in their environment, ultimately reducing the need for more restrictive interventions like out-of-home placements.
