Kansas Stepping Up Technical Assistance Center Training 1: A Deep Dive into the Stepping Up Framework and Key Question 1

Hosted by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center

As part of the Kansas Stepping Up Technical Assistance Center funded by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, the CSG Justice Center is offering all counties a three-part virtual training. This training—the first in the series—will involve in-depth discussion on the framework of Stepping Up and the first of the six Key Questions county leaders need to ask: is our leadership committed? This question focuses on the planning and collaboration needed to begin reducing the number of adults with mental illnesses in county jails.
