Multisystemic Therapy for Emerging Adults
MST-EA is a home-based therapy in which therapists work closely with each young adult. Therapists often also work with the young person's family, as appropriate. MST-EA is designed to help young people work on their own behavior. This treatment also involves the use of coaches who help young people develop skills for young adulthood.
