The process of applying the principles of the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) as a practice framework in an Adolescent Day Program and Adolescent Inpatient Unit is described.

NMT as a practice framework guided construction of a neurobiologically sensitive group therapy program whereby specific group therapies can be selected to target a young person’s specific clinical needs within the context of a broader mental health treatment plan. The practice framework has been practical, logical and feasible to implement and may encourage other child and adolescent mental health services to consider the application of neuroscience-informed models such as NMT.
