The Board asked that the sample resolution, <br />which was first reviewed and approved by the Human Services Steering Committee, be sent to all 100 counties with <br />encouragement for each county to adopt. The resolution is attached to this email and can be customized by your <br />county. <br />Stepping Up is a national initiative to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in county jails. NACo is one of <br />several partners in this effort, which also includes the National Sheriffs Association and the National Alliance on Mental <br />Illness (NAMI). <br />NACo has provided many resources on its website to support counties who are interested in this issue. Several North <br />Carolina counties have already adopted this resolution, and we hope to see that number increase. Please visit the link <br />below for more information: <br />http://www.naco.org/resources/programs-and-initiatives/stepping-initiative <br />If you should have any questions, please contact Public Relations Director Todd McGee at (919) 715-7336 or <br />todd.mceee@ncacc.ore. <br />Thank you. <br />
