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 is unique, in that it supports all family members to be involved with treatment, which reduces the risk of children entering out-of-home care.

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.
 
Will training be given?

The successful applicant will receive approximately 3 weeks of training in the MST-CAN, weekly group supervision, and fortnightly regular individual supervision. Quarterly refresher training is held in areas of particular interest and need, and additional professional development activities can be accessed throughout the course of the role.
