Abstract
Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is an intensive
treatment for troubled youth
delivered in multiple settings. This
program aims to promote pro-social
behavior and reduce criminal activity,
mental health symptomology, out-of home
placements, and illicit substance
use in 12- to 17-year-old youth. MST program addresses the core causes
of delinquent and antisocial conduct
by identifying key drivers of the behaviors
through an ecological assessment
of the youth, his or her family, and
school and community. The intervention
strategies are personalized to address
the identified drivers.
