Stepping Up_ Insights Message from the Commissioner

The Stepping Up Initiative: • Today our local jails and hospitals - neither of which have it as their mission - are serving as mental health providers, which is creating a dire situation that is both dangerous and unsustainable. We can help alleviate this crisis with resources, relationships and a program seen nationwide called Stepping Up.  • The Stepping Up Initiative is a national program with the goal to reduce the numbers of individuals in jails with mental illness. It is managed at the county level to establish effective partnerships across individuals in law enforcement, local governmental entities, elected officials, mental health and healthcare providers, courts and any others needed to meet the goal.  • ADMH recently requested community mental health centers to provide a plan for case management services to establish an ongoing program in their county, as part of the Stepping Up program. The six awardees will receive a $50,000 grant each. Their work will provide a customized, focused program in their county to work directly with individuals identified in local jails and hospitals. ADMH can help support this effort by offering resources and information to the providers who will be expanding our reach through the Stepping Up initiative
