Transforming Young Lives
Through Family-Centered Care
MDFT International is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that educates and supports community behavioral health professionals by providing science-backed
clinical training in family interventions.
The Problem
Problems youth face are complex and many other treatments are missing the mark
The Solution
A collaborative approach that is comprehensive, family-centered, and scientifically proven
“While MDFT and Multisystemic Therapy (MST) have similar treatment foci and theoretical underpinnings, MDFT has stronger empirical support, with replicated sustained results. It also requires fewer service hours than MST and, as an office-based intervention, is less costly and labor-intensive than MST.”
