The Children's Village·New York
Provide intensive family and community-based treatment to address antisocial behavior in juvenile delinquents. Work within the youth's natural environment to promote behavior change using the strengths of family, peers, and school systems.
MST (Multisystemic Therapy) is an intensive family and community based treatment that addresses the multiple determinants of serious antisocial behavior in juvenile delinquents and offenders.
MST addresses the multiple factors known to be related to delinquency across the key settings, or systems, within which youth are embedded (e.g. family, peers, school, neighborhood).
MST strives to promote behavior change in the youth’s natural environment, using the strengths of each system to facilitate change.
The MST model fits well with the Children’s Village mission statement, current focus towards community based services and family reunification and with CV values.
The MST model promotes personal responsibility, education, work ethic, community responsibility and an intolerance of violence and prejudice.
