CARE Court Feedback Survey

The Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Act established CARE Court in 2023, with all counties adopting the program as of December 2024. CARE Court is a civil court process looking to provide community-based behavioral health services and supports to eligible adult Californians living with bipolar I disorder with psychotic features, schizophrenia spectrum disorder, or other psychotic disorders​. The CARE Act is intended as an intervention for the most severely impaired Californians to prevent avoidable psychiatric hospitalizations, incarceration, and Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Mental Health conservatorship.
