About Graham :

Graham provides life-changing tools and resources for children, young adults and families who face some of the most difficult obstacles caused by poverty, racial injustice, and lack of access to educational opportunities, living wage employment, quality healthcare, and affordable housing.

Program Description :

The Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) model is a brief family intervention for children and youth with serious behavior problems and/or drug use.

BSFT also seeks to reduce drug use and delinquency in youth
