Story Behind the Curve
In FY22, the MST-EA team consisted of a program supervisor and 2 therapists. In December of 2021, the program supervisor resigned. In January of 2022, one of the MST-EA therapists was promoted to the program supervisor position leaving the team with the remaining therapist carrying a full case load (3-4 cases) and the program supervisor carrying a case load of 2. This reduced the total number of youth/young adults served in FY22. The vacant therapist position was filled in June, 2022. After training, the new therapist will be assigned a case load gradually totaling 3-4 clients.

What Works
The MST-EA team supervisor is responsible for maintaining an active connection with all program referral sources. The supervisor communicates with referral sources often and provides MST-EA orientation sessions so that new referral source staff are fully aware of the resource.
Data Discussion
