Do you want to learn more about how counties can start or strengthen a Stepping Up initiative? 

CSG has released a new Stepping Up Readiness Toolkit. This toolkit—developed with Omni Institute, funded by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, and based on work from the Kansas Stepping Up Technical Assistance Center and Kansas Stepping Up Innovator Counties—helps counties quickly assess the capacity of your leadership, data, resources, partnerships and how “ready” a county is to start or strengthen a Stepping Up initiative. 

READ THE TOOLKIT 

CSG is hosting an upcoming webinar offering practical insights and actionable guidance on how your county can use the toolkit—which includes a sustainability checklist and a county readiness model.  

This webinar is ideal for county leaders, Stepping Up coordinators, jail administrators, behavioral health partners, technical assistance providers, and any practitioners involved in Stepping Up efforts or improving data infrastructure at the county level.
