REducing the risk of criminal exploitation using multiSystEmic Therapy (RESET)

REducing the risk of criminal exploitation using multiSystEmic Therapy

The RESET Study


Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is an intensive family-based intervention designed to support young people with antisocial behaviours. MST-E is an augmented version of MST, adapted specifically for the families of children and young people aged 10 to 15 years of age who are at risk of criminal exploitation.

The aim of this study is to understand whether it is feasible to complete a pilot trial of Multi-Systematic Therapy-Exploitation (MST-E) within existing Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) services in England.

This study is funded by the Youth Endowment Fund and is being delivered in collaboration with MST UK & Ireland.

We will be asking people to take part in this study through existing MST services, based in Birmingham, Sandwell, Nottingham, and Kirklees. This will be in three stages:
