What it reported doing in 2024

Mental health treatment program: tapestry family services (henceforth known as tapestry) was established as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2001. Previously, it was largely a child/youth and family services organization providing specialty mental health services in the north county, (willits, covelo, laytonville, legget) and central / south county (ukiah, hopland, potter and redwood valleys). Many of the aspects of the original tapestry family services continue within the organization: empowering clients and their family members to access and utilize the mental health services to which they are eligible, ready and willing to utilize. Tapestry family services has provided specialty mental health services for children and their families, including individual therapy, family therapy, collateral therapy, group therapy and individual rehabilitation for over 20 years. In march 2022 tapestry expanded its service populations to include supporting our community with serving the adult system of care as well. These services are available for the lifespan who meet the criteria for medical necessity and who have full-scope medi-cal. In addition to these services, tapestry has served as a contractor in compliance with the mendocino county mental health plan, proposition 63 and the mendocino county mental health services act (mhsa), providing prevention and early intervention (pei) and community services and supports (css) programs annually through mental health services act targeting underserved populations within mendocino county. Tapestry participates in assertive community treatment (act), full service partnerships (fsp), and behavioral health court to better serve consumers with severe mental illness (smi) and severe emotional disturbances (sed). Tapestry has been providing mhsa contracted services since 2008.tapestry serves children and youth (0-15), transitional age youth (tay) (16-24), adults (25-59), and older adults (60+). Tapestry embraces a "no wrong door/open door" philosophy when consumers are seeking information, referral and support. Tapestry has been diligent to harvest, maintain and expand close, professional working relationships with many other organizations in the community, including county mental health, redwood community services, project sanctuary, mendocino county youth project, mendocino county hepatitis AIDS viral network, anchor health management (formally redwood quality management). Consumers may be referred or encouraged to work with organizations more appropriate to their specific needs and/or areas of specialty services creating a collaborative system of care within our community.
