Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is a community-based and family-driven treatment that focuses on ‘empowering’ care-givers (parents) to solve current and future problems. It uses the strengths of each setting and system in the young person’s environment to facilitate positive behavioural change. Interventions may be necessary through family, peers, school, neighbourhood or indigenous support networks.
