Nevada County Named Stepping Up Innovator County
Nevada County was named as one of a select group of Stepping Up Innovator Counties in the United States for its expertise in data-driven efforts to keep people with mental illness out of jail and connected to treatment.
Since the Stepping Up initiative was launched in May 2015, more than 500 counties in 43 states, representing 40 percent of the U.S. population, have committed to the Stepping Up goal.
“The partnerships we have here are really phenomenal and why we were nominated as an Innovator County,” said Nevada County Behavioral Health Director Phebe Bell. “We’re always looking at trends on how we can improve outcomes for our residents, but we can’t do it alone. The complexity and intentionality to chip away at our shared goal are what have made this initiative successful over the last seven years.”
