The Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA) to conduct a statewide implementation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST®) in youth-serving organizations across Indiana.
MST is a community and family-focused intervention that has been scientifically proven to transform the lives of troubled youth and their families. MST teams across the state are passionate about serving at-risk youth and are seeking referrals.
Criteria that would make a youth eligible for MST include:
- Youth ages 12-17
- Engaging in aggressive and/or criminal behaviors
- Having problem behaviors at school or are chronically truant
- Using and/or selling substances
- At risk of placement out of the home and/or severe system consequence (e.g., school expulsion or arrest)
- Involvement with the Department of Child Services or juvenile justice systems
MST is currently available in each of the counties highlighted in gold. Please see the below list of organizations actively providing MST.
