A Potential Alternative to Inpatient or Residential Treatment: Multisystemic Therapy-Psychiatry

The objective of this session is to familiarize attendees with multisystemic therapy-psychiatry (MST-P) as a community-based treatment option for youth and families with high behavioral health needs. We will share data from randomized controlled trials showing MST-P can reduce and prevent inpatient and residential admissions, alleviate youth psychiatric symptoms, and improve family functioning. We will explain how MST and MST-P address diversity, equity, and inclusion.
