After Release Program (ARP) - Multisystemic Therapy (MST)

The After Release MST Program targets youth who are being released from a Department of Juvenile Justice Residential Facility. Using the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model, the program works with the parents of the youth up to two weeks prior to the youth's release in order to assist them in developing a behavior plan, a monitoring plan, and to ready the families for the youth's return home. Upon the youth's return home, we assist the youth and family in maintaining positive behaviors, preventing the youth from being placed again in a residential program. The program works side-by-side with the youth's conditional release program, probation, and family to ensure successful completion of all probation requirements.
