ACTION
Action for Children's multisystemic therapy (MST) is designed to support young people aged 11 to 17 on the edge of the care system, and their families. It is an intensive, home-based therapy programme provided for three to five months that focuses on problem solving and offers families access to a therapist round-the-clock.
It aims to improve family relationships and reduce youth criminal activity, antisocial behaviour and other issues.
Across the UK, there are 21 different MST providers from both the voluntary and statutory sectors delivering MST for 36 local authorities across 24 sites, with some applying MST principles to tackle specific problems or help groups of young people such as those returning home from care.
