Cuyahoga County has a long history of innovation, investment and responsiveness to the health and human service needs of its residents. Cuyahoga Tapestry System of Care is a new approach to meeting the behavioral health needs of children through a unified family, community and public and private system of care.
Cuyahoga Tapestry System of Care serves children who:
- Have serious emotional needs that severely disrupt relationships and daily activities

- Are under 18 years of age when referred
- Are residents of Cuyahoga County
- Are at risk of more intense involvement with Cuyahoga County’s child-serving systems
How is Cuyahoga Tapestry System of Care different?
Cuyahoga Tapestry System of Care takes a family-centered, team approach to serving children with multiple needs. Rather than looking at what is “wrong” with a family, the family and team look at the family’s strengths and take action based on those strengths. It is a process that respects children, parents, caregivers and families, and is sensitive to the family’s culture, language and community. It also values the importance of social networks, “natural” supports, the faith community and neighborhoods.
