What is MST-CAN?
MST is widely considered the gold standard for the treatment of adolescent antisocial behaviour and is utilised in the US, Europe, the UK, and NZ.
MST-CAN is an adaptation of the MST US model and is targeted at families who have the recent risk of harm reports pertaining to ongoing child abuse and neglect.

MST-CAN provides intensive treatment to families for a period of around 3 to 9 months including specific clinical treatments for a diverse range of presenting problems such as trauma, mental health, drug and alcohol misuse, parenting problems, and PTSD.
The MST Team provides in-home clinical services to a small caseload of serious and/or repeat young offenders and their families.
