About the Program and Position:
Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is a nationally researched and evidence-based model of home-based therapy. The key to MST is understanding the term multisystemic. This role provides clinical support working within the framework that incorporates the multitude of systems affecting an adolescent’s life. The Therapist working within this model helps the family to start the process of eliminating negative factors and building positive elements that will change family behavior. This makes a difference because it decreases negative behavior in the home, empowers the caregivers, helps rebuild relationships, teaches parents how to collaborate with outside providers, work on coping skills with the families and more.
The MST model serves youth between the ages of 11-18 with a history of juvenile delinquency or at imminent risk of out-of-home placement. In this role we support youth and families in how to optimize potential and nurture the youth’s positive role within their family and their community. Our MST Therapists help families reach their goals and desired outcomes through empowerment and strength focused therapy.

For over 165 years, we have been there for children and families Children need families, and families sometimes need support. Cayuga Centers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring children have a safe, loving home. We work to keep families together, and unite those who have been divided. That might mean a temporary foster stay while problems at home are resolved. In the case of unaccompanied migrant children, it means providing a foster home during the process of identifying a parent or sponsor, and doing everything possible to ensure a speedy and safe return. We also provide medica...l and psychological support, advocacy, learning and cultural enrichment. Weve come a long way since our founding as a home for destitute children in 1852. But weve never lost sight of our mission: to help children and families, whatever their circumstances.
