We have been referred for Multsystemic Therapy following DS 14 violent and challenging behaviour at home and school.
DS has diagnosis of ASD and ADHD.
I was all up for trying it but I was told by the MST people that if I engage with them, I will no longer be able to engage with our Barnadoes Family support worker. They said they will be doing the work the Barnardo’s worker does. , and after the therapy finishes I won’t need the family support worker .
The MST runs for 20 weeks, but there’s no guarantee it will work and then I would be left without our family support worker , who has been a great help to me, with practical support, I can’t see how it would interfere with the MST.
The MST team are also working for my local council, who I have already taken to a tribunal once about DS ECHP, and may have to do so again. I am always having to go to meetings and value having independent support from Barnardo’s I just don’t trust my LA at all.
The referral for the MST was made by DS school after he assaulted a teacher, I have asked for him to be moved schools as I don’t think they can met his needs.
