Home > Outcomes & Evidence > Goal #2: Reduced Recidivism in Juvenile Justice
The juvenile justice system is an area where youth with serious emotional issues are often over-represented. In Cuyahoga County, community leaders have committed to working towards integrating system of care for these youth. Those youth involved with Tapestry have demonstrated a reduction in overall recidivism in the juvenile justice system post-disenrollment. On average, 26% of youth involved with Tapestry recidivate post-disenrollment as compared to an approximately 65-70% recidivism in previous county programs for youth offenders.
