Job Summary

Multisystemic Therapy Supervisor (MST Supervisor)

Multisystemic Therapy is an intensive, family- and community-based treatment program designed for youth and adolescents (typically ages 12 to 17) who exhibit serious behavioral, delinquent, or anti-social problems. Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST. MST therapists do whatever it takes, via close collaboration with all involved, to address the needs of juveniles with criminal offenses, including, in some cases, substance abuse. You will help empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and to help youth make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support, to name a few.
