Home > Outcomes & Evidence > Goal #3: Reduced Recidivism in Child Welfare
Child welfare is another arena where youth with serious emotional issues are also over-represented, and therefore this too has been made a priority for Tapestry’s work. Cuyahoga County has a long history of commitments to improve its child welfare practice, beginning with the Family-to-Family initiative in the early 1990s. Building on this rich experience, reducing recidivism in the child welfare system for those youth enrolled with Tapestry is a major priority. Overall, youth enrolled in Tapestry experience low rates of repeat maltreatment. Additionally when in out-of-home placement, these youth are also more likely to experience stability in their living arrangement.
