Community Solutions Inc. (CSI) is a nonprofit organization that promotes the responsible citizenship, accountability, and well-being of individuals and families involved, or at risk of involvement, in the child welfare, juvenile justice, or criminal justice system. Since CSIs founding in 1962, it has been a pioneer in the community-based service. We have been delivering supervision, treatment, and comprehensive individualized services to help clients interact more effectively in their communities and become productive citizens. Using this plan, we opened the first state-contracted halfway house in New England which has grown to a continuum of approximately 60 programs and services in 11 states. For more than 60 years, CSI has built upon its successful foundation and expanded to serve thousands of adults, youth, and families each year.
Program Overview
Community Solutions Inc., an agency whose core values are Integrity, Compassion, Connection and Service is an International leader in the implementation of evidenced based treatment models for child welfare and juvenile justice for over 20 years and the number one provider of Multisystemic Therapy. Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is the top internationally recognized evidenced based model for at risk youth supported by the US Department of Justice, National Institute of Health, and the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime. Community Solutions, Inc is seeking dynamic clinicians to provide an in-home service, entitled Multisystemic Therapy (MST) in the Strafford County. This program is targeted to helping at-risk adolescents improve their behaviors and reduce their possibility of being placed out of the home.
As a Therapist 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. Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST. MST therapists do whatever it takes, via close collaboration with all involved, to address the needs of juveniles with serious criminal offenses, including and, in some cases, substance abuse. You will empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and to help youth aged 12 - 17 make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support, to name a few.
