Clinical Supervisor (MST) - Evidence Based Associates

MST-FIT (Multisystemic Therapy – Family Integrated Transitions) is an intensive family and community-based treatment that addresses the multiple determinants of serious antisocial behavior. MST strives to promote behavior change in the youth’s natural environment, using the strengths of each system to facilitate change. Treatment is initiated for the youth and family while the youth is still in placement. It is an adaptation of traditional MST Therapy designed to promote successful integration of the youth back into the community post placement. The MST-FIT Supervisor will ensure that these services adhere to the model’s specifications while employing the MST-FIT model throughout a 46 bed adolescent female Rapid Intervention Center and Group Residence.

EBA’s mission is to support families and strengthen communities through the high-quality implementation of evidence-based programs (EBPs).

Over the past 15 years, EBA has served multiple states and counties in the areas of juvenile justice, child welfare, and behavioral health.

Our project support services address common implementation questions and concerns, such as:
• System Assessment: what are the gaps or needs in your current service system?
• Readiness Support: how do we get providers and stakeholders ready for EBPs?
• Program Implementation: how do we ensure we are implementing with high fidelity?
• Service Coordination: how do we make sure we’re matching the right service at the right time for the right children, youth, and family members?

EBA offers a team of professionals with backgrounds in social services, juvenile justice, evidence-based programs, information technology and human resources.
