About The Program

Our program is built on the belief that involving families and caregivers in every aspect of treatment is essential to promoting and sustaining behavioral change. Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is an evidence-based practice aimed at reducing behaviors like substance use, school truancy/failure and parent/child relationships. Services are based in community locations in order to truly meet the youth and family where they are. The goal of the MST program is to maintain youth in their family’s homes and reduce further criminal justice involvement.
