During this quarterly call with the Innovator Counties, teams from 23 counties were represented. The Stepping Up partners hosted a fireside chat with Helen (Skip) Skipper from New York City Justice Peer Initiative to discuss the role of peers in supporting people with behavioral health needs who are involved in the justice system. Key takeaways include: training peers and agency staff to develop a supportive culture for peers; reframing expertise to also include the voices of peers who bring their lived experience to the table; and developing pathways for advancement for peers within their employing agencies. The partners also noted forthcoming technical assistance opportunities for Innovators to participate in related to racial equity, and the partners noted that Innovators named in 2020 will be reconfirmed this year and that all Innovators will be randomly matched into new peer-to-peer groups.
