ABOUT THE PROGRAM
We are part of an exciting new initiative, implementing Multi-systemic Therapy-Child Abuse & Neglect (MST-CAN).
The mission of MST-CAN is to keep families together and ensure that children are safe, while reducing mental health difficulties and increasing social supports.
This is an internationally recognised program, specifically designed to treat 6-17 year-olds and their families. MST-CAN is unique, in that it supports all family members to be involved with treatment, which reduces the risk of children entering out-of-home care.
