Bringing Multidimensional Family Therapy to the UK
– a ground-breaking new study aimed at reducing drug and alcohol use in vulnerable young people, funded by the Youth Endowment Fund.
The MDFT Intervention
The new approach involves staff who have been specifically trained to offer therapy and support to young people and their families.
Study Protocol
“This will be the first time Multidimensional Family Therapy has been adapted, delivered and evaluated in the UK, and if it is effective, it will provide a new treatment approach for a vulnerable population of marginalised young people that could be implemented across the UK’”
