Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) In-Home Family Therapy

The Multisystemic Therapy (MST) program is an In-home, evidence-based intervention designed for families with youth ages 10 to 17 who are experiencing significant behavioral challenges, including truancy, poor school performance, verbal and physical aggression, substance use, misconduct, and negative peer influences. Offered at no cost to residents of Broward County, MST is a voluntary, intensive, three-month program that requires caregivers to meet with a therapist at least twice per week. Through this structured commitment, families have reported improved relationships, decreased problem behaviors, and strengthened family functioning, with the goal of preventing out-of-home placement and fostering long-term positive change.
