Our Mission

The program’s primary goal is to decrease a youth’s involvement with the juvenile-justice system by addressing behaviors that may range from truancy, substance-use disorders, criminal activity, or other common antisocial behaviors. MST accomplishes this task by looking at all of the different systems in a youth’s life (individual, family, school, peer, and community) and then working with the youth’s caregivers to develop interventions that will help reduce any negative behaviors.

Internationally Recognized Evidence-Based Practice

• MST is an internationally known program that was first conceived in the 1970s at the Medical University of South Carolina.
• MST research indicated the need for treating adolescents in their homes and for addressing all of the systems that impacted their lives on a daily basis.
• After many years of research, word of MST’s success began to spread, and this led to the creation of MST Services in 1996.
• MST Services is a licensed organization that offers assistance in developing and maintaining MST program services worldwide.
• Liberty Resources has been licensed as an MST Network Provider for more than 10 years. This licensure allows us to provide MST services, to provide MST clinical oversight, and to develop the MST model internationally.

Scope of Services

• MST’s interventions aim to improve caregiver parenting skills by developing discipline strategies, strengthening positive relationships among family members, increasing prosocial activities for youth, improving youth’s performance in school, and developing a strong network of supports for the youth and family to help caregivers maintain positive changes.
• To reach these goals, the family meets with a therapist multiple times per week to participate in setting goals and developing interventions for the youth.
• MST uses a strengths-based model to build upon the positive skills that the family is already utilizing.
• Family members get to build their own goals and to work with their therapist to reach the outcomes that are most important to them.
• At the end of the treatment period, success is measured by eliminating the need for out-of-home placement; reducing contact with police and other members of the juvenile-justice system; and improving behavior in the home, school, and community.

Substance-Use Specialization

• The MST program provides substance-use treatment through the MST model.
• This unique treatment program allows youth who are struggling with substance-use issues to work together with their MST therapist and their caregiver to identify their personal triggers and to develop self-management plans to reduce their risk of drug or alcohol use.
• Through this program, youth are able to create a personalized plan that targets their struggles with substances, and caregivers are given the opportunity to learn more about their youth’s drug use and to become an active part of the support system that helps reduce this behavior.

Qualified Professionals

• All staff have clinical experience and hold a master’s degree in social work; marriage-and-family therapy; counseling; or a related discipline that adheres to the Multisystemic Therapy Model, which is grounded in research and evidence that best supports success for every family.

Eligibility criteria

Youth are referred to the program by the county that they reside in.

Emergency Response to Opioid Overdose

The Liberty Resources Recovery Support Navigator Team (RSN) has teamed up with the Monroe County Department of Public Health (DPH) and created a collaborative pilot program. The goal of this program is to connect Liberty Resources’ Peer Specialists and Family Support Specialists to individuals and families who have recently experienced an overdose.

The DPH receives information on anyone who has suffered an overdose, from both the Rochester Police and Sheriff’s departments within 24 hours of that overdose. The DPH then informs the Recovery Support Navigator Team, and we deploy a Peer and/or Family Support Specialist to that individual and/or family upon receiving the referral. The team starts with telephonic outreach and then works together with that individual in a person-centered approach to develop a plan of support. The RSN Team takes a Peer Model/Harm Reduction approach as well, which means that we are not here to tell anyone what to do, but rather to deeply listen to the needs of the individual and/or family.

Eligibility Criteria

The Recovery Support Navigator program is available for people in need of recovery support and for families of those who are in recovery.

Our Mission

Liberty Resources offers transitional housing for homeless persons at our DePalmer location. The primary goal of this program is to provide an environment and level of services that will enable residents to attain and maintain safe, affordable permanent housing of their choice.

At least 92% of the clients who are served at DePalmer House are individuals in recovery from chemical addiction. At least two-thirds of the consumers who are served possess a diagnosed—and often untreated—coexisting psychiatric disorder. Many have had previous, recurrent episodes of homelessness.

DePalmer House is centrally located on the west side of Syracuse and is maintained as a confidential site. The two-story house consists of 10 beds with a full kitchen and dining room, two living rooms, three and a half baths, and a full basement complete with storage. Also, there are two staff offices, which serve as confidential counseling areas. The program is staffed 24 hours a day by a program supervisor, assistant supervisor, three direct support professionals (including an awake overnight counselor), and four part-time relief staff.

Scope of Services

Supportive services offered within the program have allowed residents to address longstanding addiction issues that impede their ability to meet their housing needs. Other services-assist residents with complying with their medical treatment regimen, allowing more-fragile residents to improve their health to the point of being able to move into independent housing. DePalmer House program staff provide a variety of support services to meet the special needs of the population served.

DePalmer House offers linkages with social services, nutrition programs, local case management programs, chemical dependency treatment and mental health programs, health care, transportation, and other services and resources.

At the DePalmer House, patients’ goals include self-sufficiency and the attainment of permanent housing. The program staff assess each individual for needed services and assist them in connecting with these services.

Our Mission

Liberty Resources provides support to children in settings that enable them to remain at home and in the community. These children would otherwise be at risk of admission to institutional levels of care. Liberty supports a family-driven, youth-guided approach that values the strengths, preferences, needs, and desired outcomes of the individual. We provide an array of services—focused on success at home, in school, and in other natural environments—that evolve over time to meet the changing needs of children.

Community Habilitation

Respite

• Services can be provided in a planned mode or can be delivered in a crisis situation.

Employment Services

• Prevocational Services are individually designed to prepare a youth (age 14 or older) to engage in paid work, volunteer work, or career exploration.

Community Self-advocacy Training And Supports

• Provide family, caregivers, and collateral contacts with techniques and information that are generally not available—so that they can better respond to the needs of the participant. Community Self-Advocacy Training and Support is intended to help the child/youth, family/caregiver, and collateral contacts understand and address the participant’s needs related to their disability(ies).

Family Peer-supports Services

• A foster parent training group meets monthly.
• Group activities—such as picnics, a Thanksgiving dinner, and a foster-parent banquet

Our Mission

Family Reunification and Support Therapy provides comprehensive home-based therapy to families whose children had been placed in a higher level of care. The purpose of the program is to reunite these children with their families and provide the necessary services that will support families in preventing further placement of their children and in maintaining long-term stability.

Customized Care for Families

• Liberty Resources therapists offer family-therapy services, based on the family’s goal for reunification.
• This program utilizes solution-focused and structural family therapy in its treatment approach.
• It is our belief that home is the best place for change to occur.
• We provide services to help families in the transition from feelings of doubt and hopelessness to feelings of competence and possibility in the child’s return home.
• This program provides opportunities for families to experiment with how to do things differently.
• We also support the family with case management aimed at the coordination of service providers and the elimination of the need for a social services caseworker.
• Families have access to 24-hour crisis services, to access support whenever it might be needed.

Referrals

• Services are accessed through local-county Department of Social Services.

Eligibility criteria

Children who have not yet reached their 18th birthday and who have been adjudicated as a PINS or juvenile delinquent and who are in the custody of the Madison County Department of Social Services and who have been placed in an institutional level of care are eligible for these services. The family will also demonstrate an ability to benefit from services through their level of involvement in their child’s current treatment; and if the child is at risk of further placement either due to a recurrence of the previous circumstances surrounding his/her placement or due to not achieving goals set forth in their comprehensive treatment plan.

Our Mission

Liberty Resources’ case management services help families to cope with and resolve the environmental, social, emotional, and economic issues that may be impacting their ability to provide and maintain a healthy family environment.

Customized Care for Families

• Liberty Resources’ offers of support in the family’s home and in the community include support for all members of the family.
• We coordinate services with other providers—to provide support to families, as needed; and to monitor compliance with any court orders and formal recommendations from Child Protective Services.
• Skill-building services can be conducted in addition to case-management services.

Referrals
