Tapestry

Cuyahoga County recently was awarded a multi-million dollar federal grant to develop a more efficient and family-friendly system to provide supports to children who are seriously emotionally disturbed and their families. This system of care, named Tapestry, is built on the successful work of PEP Connections and Family-to-Family, a large Cuyahoga County foster care initiative, which was funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Tapestry is designed to bring more support to more families, thus reducing their reliance on the county’s public systems. Among Tapestry’s primary goals are: an increased voice from the parents and other caregivers who support these children; and an emphasis on supports and services provided in the neighborhood where the children and their families reside. PEP is the first agency to pilot the Tapestry System of Care.

Services are based out of neighborhood sites throughout Cleveland, East Cleveland and Euclid.

Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Tapestry staff can be accessed on a 24-hour per day basis to deal with crisis and emergency situations.

Age Range: Birth-22. Referrals are accepted for children birth -17 years of age.

Payment: Tapestry services are presently funded through SAMSHA, Medicaid and the allocated County match for this new initiative.
