CARE ActOVERVIEW

Through a new civil court process, the CARE Act provides community-based behavioral health services and supports to Californians living with untreated schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders.

The CARE process moves care and support upstream to provide earlier action, support, and accountability for both CARE clients, and the local governments responsible for providing services to these individuals.
