Role of the Vendor
Community Solutions Inc. (CSI)will provide Multisystemic Therapy(MST)to 12 youth and
families,residing in Richmond County,annually.MST is a family-based treatment model for juvenile
offenders designed to improve the psychosocial functioning of youth and their families and to reduce
delinquent behavior.The foundation of MST is that the family will learn new skills early in treatment
that they will be able to use and sustain throughout the rest of treatment and thereafter, thus
eliminating the need for future services. Evaluations of MST have demonstrated significant and
sustained reductions in delinquency and in the length of stay in out of home placements. The MST
program delivers a home-based service to address the major risk and need factors that predict further
involvement within juvenile justice systems. The ultimate goal of MST is to empower families to
2

build an environment that promotes a healthy positive change. The key to this empowerment plan is
building a relationship with the family.
CSI Therapists will deliver services in the homes. MST services are typically delivered in
home and community settings to increase cooperation and enhance generalization, the ability to
continue skills learned without the support and oversight of the therapist. Therapists will carry
caseloads of 4-6 clients with service duration of 4-6 months.To make ecological changes,MST staff
will be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, using a on-call schedule of week-ends and
holidays. CSI will track program data and provide regular reports to Richmond County Juvenile
Court. CSI will provide annual criminal background checks on direct staff to Juvenile Court.
