OUR PROGRAMS
Longmore Academy
At Longmore, students receive an individualized education where they benefit from a structured, supportive learning environment that is responsive to their behavioral and emotional needs.
In-home Treatment
MHY offers three evidence-based adaptations of Multisystemic Therapy. These are proven clinically effective treatment models for children ages 9 to 17 who are demonstrating serious behavioral and mental health symptoms and are at risk of being removed from the home.
Multisystemic Therapy
Since 2000, MHY has delivered Multisystemic Therapy (MST), an intensive evidence-based program designed to serve dependent and delinquent youth, ages 12 to 17, who are at risk of out-of-home placement or who are currently in an out-of-home placement, addressing the multiple influences that contribute to growing antisocial or illegal behavior in youth. The MST approach views individuals as being part of, and influenced by, a complex network of interconnected systems that encompass individual, family, and extrafamilial (peer, school, neighborhood) factors.

Multisystemic Therapy: Psychiatric Care
Multisystemic Therapy: Psychiatric Care (MST-Psych) is an adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) specifically designed to serve families with youth ages 9-17 who are at risk of out-of-home placement due to serious psychiatric and behavioral problems. The goal of MST-Psych is to improve behavioral problems, mental health symptoms, suicidal behaviors, and family relations while increasing the amount of time youth spend going to school and living in home-based placements.
MHY now has licensed professionals offering written order assessments to determine what service may provide the greatest benefit. Call 724-625-3141 to learn more.
Multisystemic Therapy: Problem Sexual Behavior
Multisystemic Therapy: Problem Sexual Behavior (MST-PSB) is a clinical adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) that is specifically for youth ages 10-17 who have committed sexual offenses. MST-PSB is family-driven and delivered in the youth’s natural environment (i.e. home, school, and community) by Master’s level clinicians.
Community Services
Community Services Programs are devoted to developing and sustaining effective services to reach at-risk youth and their families. The goal is to prevent youth from being removed from the home and to avoid additional, and sometimes costly, services.
Through our community programs, clients experience positive growth and stability in the home, in schools, and in the community.
