A Proven Family-Centered Treatment that Transforms Young Lives and Sets the Course for a Better Future.

MDFT International, Inc is a 501(c)3 non-profit public charity dedicated to improving the lives of youth and their families by providing training and consultation services to help clinical providers implement Multidimensional Family therapy (MDFT). MDFT is a comprehensive, flexible family-based intervention for adolescent substance abuse, delinquency, and related behavioral and emotional problems. MDFT directly addresses problems in adolescent, parent and family functioning while enhancing the factors that change behaviors, heal relationships, and support positive development. MDFT is a scientifically proven evidence-based practice (EBP) that works actively with families, educators, the juvenile justice system, and other community collaborators to deliver effective treatment. Our overall mission is to improve the quality of prevention and treatment services for youth and their families by training providers in this highly effective intervention. There are currently over 100 MDFT programs in the United States, Canada and Western Europe, and we provide services to therapists, public and private organizations, communities, states/provinces, and nations. The intervention has been implemented successfully in a wide range of clinical settings, within different types of programs, and with diverse youth and families. You may find a listing of our locations and other information on our website.

MDFT International Trainer Megan Lucas recently visited the dedicated team at Frontier Health in Tennessee for booster training and collaborative clinical discussions!

Together, the team explored common challenges in their clinical work, including engaging parents who may be resistant to change and adapting MDFT to meet the evolving needs of transition-age youth (TAY), particularly adolescents approaching adulthood, while continuing to strengthen family relationships and support.

👏 A big thank you to the Frontier Health team for their thoughtful participation, dedication, and continued commitment to supporting youth and families through MDFT!

🍂 Fall in Pennsylvania with the Outside In MDFT Team!

Our MDFT National Trainer, Doris Perdomo-Johnson, recently spent time working alongside The Outside In team in Pennsylvania!

Joining Doris were MDFT Trainer and Outside In Clinical Director Jennifer Miller, MDFT Supervisor Teresa Inhoff, LMFT, CCTP, and therapists Sara, Anna, and Tyler. It's always wonderful to see our MDFT teams coming together to collaborate, strengthen clinical skills, and support one another in their work with youth and families.

A big thank you to the Outside In team for their dedication and commitment to the families they serve, and to Doris for sharing these great moments and Pennsylvania's beautiful fall foliage! 🍁

A referral alone doesn't get someone into treatment. MDFR Specialists bridge that gap. They work hand in hand with parents, families, treatment providers, child welfare, and other systems to create the conditions for change. They engage parents in treatment, remove the barriers that stand in the way, strengthen family relationships, and support parents on the path to recovery and family stability.

Our Director of Training, Dr. Cindy Rowe, joined MDFT supervisors and therapists in Estonia for two days of shared learning, thoughtful reflection, and building on the strong work already happening there.

Connecting with our global MDFT family is always a highlight. To our Estonian colleagues: thank you for your warmth, energy, and dedication. We can't wait to see you again!

Recovery is rarely a solitary journey, it's shaped by the people who show up, again and again, to offer support, patience, and belief in someone's ability to change. Families play a critical role in that process, and when they're equipped with the right tools to communicate and rebuild trust, healing becomes a shared effort rather than an individual burden.

This month, we honor the courage it takes to pursue recovery, and the families, clinicians, and communities who walk alongside that process every step of the way.

Thank you to everyone who connected with us at the Florida Behavioral Health Association Conference! We were grateful for the opportunity to share our work, engage in thoughtful conversations, and connect with colleagues and partners from across the behavioral health field.

A special highlight was connecting with longtime MDFT collaborator Michael Dennis of Chestnut Health Systems, along with the many attendees who stopped by our booth and joined Dr. Cindy Rowe and Doris Perdomo-Johnson for their presentation.

We appreciate the conversations, questions, and connections, and look forward to continuing the work together.

Overdose doesn't just affect the person struggling, it ripples through every family member, every friend, every community holding on and hoping for change.

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, MDFT stands with the families doing the hard, quiet work of healing together. Because recovery isn't a solo journey, and no one should have to carry it alone.

If you're grieving, if you're in recovery, or if you're fighting for someone you love, we're in your corner.
