Tapestry's Resilience Initiative's overarching goal will be to develop a replicable rural multi-generational model weaving together the current system partners with best practice opportunities to build a sustainable, cohesive and comprehensive system of care. The Tapestry Resilience Initiative will improve the mental health outcomes in the impoverished, rural county of Chautauqua, in southwestern NYS by supporting expansion of required services, targeted evidenced-based practices and continuous evaluation. The best predictor of future success. SAMHSA's investment in Tapestry to date has impacted locally, statewide, and nationally. Tapestry Resilience Initiative is poised to have an impact particularly in NYS that will influence the direction of children's policies and services for years to come. Systems of Care experience has given us a qualified lens with which our community partners have identified two sub-groups who are most vulnerable and yet who hold immense potential. Objectives for young children include: community mapping; and enhanced Children's Single Point of Access; High Fidelity Wraparound; evidenced-based Parents As Teachers, evidenced-based parent education; Pyramid Model framework to embed programs and policies in schools/childcare/community; childcare provider training; Rapid Skills training; and Healthy Steps. Objectives will equip caregivers, integrate behavioral health into pediatric /primary care practices, and expand evidenced based practices. Strategies for college students include behavioral health screenings, resiliency training, suicide prevention workgroups on campus, establishment of a satellite clinic on campus, self-help technology, and awareness/education effort. Tapestry will implement culturally appropriate evidenced-based programs/practices to support children, youth and families with diagnostic and evaluation services;outpatient clinical services and professional consultation; 24-hour services; intensive home-based services; intensive day treatment; respite care; therapeutic foster care; services for transition to adulthood; recovery services; reporting and monitoring; engaging youth and families; an expanded governance board that includes family and youth voice to make programmatic and policy changes based on decisions informed by the realist evaluation approach; and develop a strategic financing plan. The Tapestry Resilience Initiative will serve 8200 individuals over the grant period.
