Excellence in Training and Quality Assurance Oversight
For almost 20 years, ABH has served as a liaison between state funders, MST providers and other stakeholders as an MST Network Partner. The program provides training in the MST model, clinical consultation, data collection and outcome dissemination to all stakeholders. Fundamentally, ABH works with agencies to ensure MST Model fidelity, quality services for families and to develop improvement plans for programs that are underperforming. Since 2003, ABH has provided quality service oversight for almost 10,000 families, with outcomes that speak for themselves.
- 88% youth at home
- 84% in school or working
- 78% without re-arrest
ABH also operates a TAM-R Call Center for MST Providers. This area of the MST Network Partner program facilitates surveys demonstrating model adherence scores for each therapist, thereby providing invaluable data for MST teams in and out of state. ABH is proud to exceed MST’s collection target of 70% each year.
