Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is a unique treatment program designed to serve youth ages 12-18, in their community. MST is the only family-focused, community-based treatment program that has been the focus of several major research studies and cited for clinical effectiveness. The program serves youth with complex emotional, social and academic needs, including chronic, violent, delinquent behavior and serious emotional issues; truancy; disrespect and disobedience; aggressive and criminal behavior; drug and alcohol problems; and running away.

• MST therapists are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week
• Services are provided in the home, school, neighborhood and
  community
• Length of treatment averages three to five months
• Intensive treatment includes multiple contacts with family and other participants every week
