The school-to-prison pipeline is driven by more than student behavior alone. Rising suspensions, chronic absenteeism, and unmet behavioral health needs reflect challenges across families, schools, peer groups, and communities.
This MST Services resource explains how Multisystemic Therapy interrupts the pipeline by addressing these ecological drivers of school disengagement and early justice involvement. It outlines how MST strengthens caregiver monitoring, improves school collaboration, restructures peer influences, and coordinates across systems to improve attendance, engagement, and youth outcomes.
