What is the purpose of the Parent Advisory Council?
The purpose of the Parent Advisory Council is to provide the family perspective to Cuyahoga Tapestry System of Care. Having a family from each neighborhood collaborative ensures community participation and a broad voice within the county. The Parent Advisory Council, in conjunction with NAMI Ohio (www.namiohio.org), will: Recruit, train and support parents for peer-to-peer activities within their own neighborhoods; coordinate quarterly activities for families of children with serious emotional disturbances to increase social interaction with other families; work to decrease the parent’s perception of isolation in their own community.
