During this quarterly call with the Innovator Counties, teams from 15 counties were represented. The Stepping Up partners followed up on the "fireside chat" with a representative from the New York City Justice Peer Initiative during the last Innovator call to discuss Innovators' work with peers. The partners facilitated discussion about counties' current priorities, challenges, and successes. Common themes included challenges getting to and leveraging data and workforce challenges in behavioral health and justice systems. Several counties shared their practices in recruiting for, hiring, and retaining peers, including a county launching a peer support network and other counties discussing their policies for hiring peers. The partners also shared new resources and previewed forthcoming resources to advance best practices at the intersection of criminal justice and behavioral health.
