First MST-CAN team opens in Scotland!

MST-UK and Ireland are pleased to announce the official launch of the first MST-CAN team in Scotland.

Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect (MST-CAN) is an intensive intervention for families who have recently been reported to Child Protection Services for physically abusing and/or neglecting a child between the ages of 6 and 17.

MST-CAN works with families to keep children at home with increased safety. Research indicates that it is effective in reducing incidents of re-abuse, reducing trauma symptoms and improving mental health in both adults and children.

The MST-CAN team is now operational and accepting referrals from across Fife.
