Troubled Children To Receive Help To Avoid Going Into Care

Published: Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:46:38

Families and their troubled children who are at risk of being taken into care or custody will receive intensive support from trained professionals to remain with their families, thanks to a £17.5m pilot project announced today (14 November 2007) by government Ministers Kevin Brennan, Ivan Lewis and Gillian Merron.

Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is a family and community-based treatment programme for young people with complex clinical, social, and educational problems, such as violence, drug abuse and school expulsion. It supports young people who are at risk of developing early personality disorder, chronic offending and perhaps antisocial behaviour, and who may be at risk of going into care, to remain with their families in the community.
