5-Day Orientation Training

The 5-day orientation training in Multisystemic Therapy is designed for all clinical staff who engage in the treatment and/or clinical supervision of MST cases, as well as those in support and administrative roles for MST programs.   Attendees will receive instruction in the following areas:
           
            1)    systems theories, social learning theory, and major psychological and sociological models;
            2)    research regarding serious emotional disturbance in youth;
            3)    research relevant to problems experienced by target youth (e.g., learning disabilities,
                   substance abuse; and,
            4)    research on interventions used in MST (e.g., empirically validated family and marital therapy
                   approaches, parenting behavioral training, cognitive behavior therapy, school consultation).

Additionally, the training utilizes role-plays and exercises designed to stimulate critical thinking about the treatment process and to demonstrate how MST informs the following:

            1)     client engagement;
            2)     individual, family, and systems-level assessments;
            3)     the evaluation of what evidence therapists use to draw conclusions about the

MST Supervisor Orientation Training

The Supervisor Orientation is a 2 day training for new MST supervisors, typically attended during the first 6 months on the job as supervisor.  It is designed to introduce MST supervisors to their core job tasks in the following areas:

        1)    MST group supervision;
            2)    clinician development;
            3)    continuous quality improvement;
            4)    community collaboration;   
            5)    therapist hiring.

The orientation is also designed to allow supervisors to start to identify their strengths and needs in each of these areas, and to create supervisor development plans.  The training is highly interactive and experiential, with multiple opportunities to practice implementing the various job tasks.

Advanced MST Supervisor Workshop

The advanced supervisor workshop in Multisystemic Therapy occurs once every year in Charleston, SC.  It is designed for MST clinical supervisors from licensed MST programs who have been in the MST supervisor position for six (6) months or more.  MST supervisors can attend the workshop every year if they desire.  The workshop is also open to MST program managers from licensed MST programs, as relevant.

Each year a different topic is addressed at the workshop, within one or more of the following three areas of responsibility for supervisors:  group supervision, clinician development, and Program CQI Management (which includes community collaboration, personnel issues, Quality Assurance, and Continuous Quality Improvement.)  Typically the workshop topics will rotate between these three areas of responsibility over the years, and typically each year’s agenda addresses new areas so that previous trainings are not repeated.
