Empower Community Care Enhances Family Therapy Access with BSFT Institute Acquisition

Empower Community Care Expands Family Therapy Services

Empower Community Care, a prominent organization in global behavioral health, has announced a strategic acquisition of the Brief Strategic Family Therapy® (BSFT®) Institute from the University of Miami. This acquisition aims to strengthen the accessibility and reach of evidence-based therapeutic interventions designed to address the behavioral and emotional challenges faced by youth and their families.

The BSFT model is rooted in over 40 years of research and clinical practice, focusing on structured family interventions that improve family dynamics and reduce problematic behaviors in youth. Dr. Joan Muir, the Executive Director, has been leading this institute, which has established a strong reputation for its effective approach to family therapy.

Josh Glade, Co-Founder and CEO of Empower Community Care, expressed excitement over the acquisition, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome the BSFT Institute to the Empower Community Care family. The BSFT model aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver evidence-based practices worldwide. Together, we will enhance our efforts in making proven interventions available to more families and communities."

By integrating the BSFT Institute into its operations, Empower aims to leverage its extensive global network and operational expertise to amplify the institute's impact. Dr. Muir echoed this sentiment, highlighting that the collaboration would allow for a broader outreach and deeper influence on families in need, ensuring that vulnerable populations receive the support they require.

Empower Community Care operates with a clear mission: transforming the lives of troubled youth, adults, and their families. The organization has been responsible for distributing evidence-based programs and technologies across more than 2,000 customers in 50 U.S. states and over 35 countries. With a team of over 120 employees, Empower remains dedicated to using scientifically proven methods to improve care and services available to these populations.

In the behavioral health landscape, partnerships and strategic acquisitions are becoming increasingly vital, especially in addressing the complexities associated with mental health and family dynamics. The integration of the BSFT Institute into Empower's operations represents a forward-thinking approach that emphasizes not only survival but thriving in challenging environments.

The BSFT model is recognized for its effectiveness in fostering resilience among at-risk youth and their families. By working collaboratively, Empower and the BSFT Institute are set to flourish, shaping a more supportive environment for families facing emotional and behavioral challenges. This partnership marks a significant milestone within the behavioral health sector and highlights the importance of evidence-based interventions that can lead to meaningful change.

As these organizations join forces, the ultimate goal remains clear: to empower families to build stronger relationships and to foster enduring success in overcoming obstacles.
