Stepping Up Releases Foundational Report
Amid growing participation in the national initiative, Stepping Up today released Reducing the Number of People with Mental Illnesses in Jail: Six Questions County Leaders Need to Ask. Intended to assist counties with developing and implementing a systems-level, data-driven plan that can lead to measurable reductions in the number of people with mental illnesses in local jails, Six Questions is the foundational report of the initiative. It serves as a blueprint for counties to assess their existing efforts to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in jail by considering specific questions and progress-tracking measures. The report also drives and informs the Stepping Up technical assistance that will be offered moving forward.
