Position Overview:   MST-Psych (Multisystemic Therapy- Psychiatric) is an adaption of standard MST that provides intensive family and community based treatment that addresses the multiple behavioral and psychological determinants of serious antisocial behavior in juvenile delinquents and offenders across the key settings, or systems, within which youth are embedded (e.g. family, peers, school, neighborhood).  Similar to standard MST, MST-Psych strives to promote behavior change in the youth’s natural environment, using the strengths of each system to facilitate change.  The MST-Psych 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.
