Do you have a passion for working with children and families? We are looking for compassionate, dedicated people in North Dallas, Texas who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends.

You will receive ongoing training in the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model as you work with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement MST as designed.

Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support, to name a few.
