Multidimensional Family Therapy
Psychological therapy
In progress
About the project
MDFT aims to reduce substance misuse, improve behavioural issues and reduce young people’s involvement in the criminal justice system through multidimensional family therapy. It is delivered by a qualified MDFT therapist and it intervenes in four connected areas:
(i) the young person, (ii) the parents, (iii) the family, and (iv) the community. It sets specific therapeutic goals for each, using separate sessions to build a supportive network and foster long-term positive outcomes.
Barnardo’s will deliver the programme, overseen by The Ending Youth Violence Lab.
