As CARE Act implementation progresses, counties are increasingly supporting individuals through the final stages of the CARE process. This live training and open forum will explore the multiple pathways out of CARE, including graduation or through a case dismissal, and discuss situations in which an individual may be reappointed to CARE up to one year. It will discuss how to assess readiness for graduation, incorporate Psychiatric Advance Directives (PADs), and maintain person-centered, trauma-informed support throughout transitions.

The county panelists—representing both urban and rural communities— will discuss strategies for approaching transitions with dignity and promoting recovery beyond CARE.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the session, participants will have an increased ability to:

  • Identify and describe pathways for exiting the CARE process, including graduation and case dismissal.
  • Assess when reappointment—either voluntary or court-ordered—is appropriate as an alternative to graduation.
  • Explain the role and importance of a Psychiatric Advance Directive (PAD) in supporting successful transition from CARE.
  • Apply trauma-informed and person-centered approaches to paths out of CARE, ensuring respect for the respondent’s autonomy, minimizing stigma, and supporting recovery.
