Evidence-Based Model
Multisystemic Therapy is
a collaborative treatment approach
Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is an evidence-based therapy, based upon the fact that a child’s severe behavioral problems are often due to multiple factors, and multiple therapies and approaches are used simultaneously to resolve them.
Thompson therapists assess each family’s strengths, needs, and barriers to progress to develop individually designed treatment plans to address the specific drivers of each youth’s antisocial behavior.
Therapy focuses on helping youth, and their families, work to facilitate change, collaborating with closely with the youth, their teachers, neighbors, extended family, even members of the child’s peer group to help the youth stay at home, in school, and out of trouble.
