FY25: HFY1: The majority of MST EA-clients were referred from the Baltimore County Department of Social Services followed by the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services.  HFY2:  During the second half of FY 25, seven new clients who initiated services in FY 24 transitioned into FY 25 HFY2.  Four clients transitioned from HFY1 into HFY2/  Twelve clients completed services during HFY2 and their outcomes are reflected on this HFY2 annual scorecard.  Annual:  The annual target number for youth served by a therapist MST-EA team is 30.  During FY 25, 31 youth were served.

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.

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.

FY25: The MST-EA program has multiple referral sources including the MD Dept of Juvenile Services, Baltimore County Department of Social Services, Baltimore County Detention Center, Baltimore County Courts System, and the Baltimore County Office of the Public Defender.

FY22: The annual target number for youth/young adult referrals is 12-15. Typical duration of MST-EA treatment is 6– 12 months. The total number of youth/young adult referrals received during FY22 was 15.
