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.

We believe in the potential and growth of our therapists and in this role you will receive on-going training and consultation to support the development of your clinical skills within this model.
