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.

What is MST-CAN?

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.

 

Who do I contact?

The team is now operational and accepting referrals from across Fife. If you have any referral queries, please contact Dr Kerry Phair by email: kerry.phair@ fife .gov.uk
