MDFT aims to reduce substance misuse, improve behavioural issues and reduce young people’s involvement in the criminal justice system through multidimensional family therapy.

This project will train practitioners working across youth justice, edge of care, youth development and early help services in trauma-informed practice, with tiered support including psychologist-led Enhanced Case Management for those with the highest needs.

The MST-CAN project offers intensive therapy for families where children aged 6-17 years are at risk of going into care due to physical abuse and/or neglect.

Children are referred into this project by the police at the point of arrest when they are found in possession of a class B or class C drug.
