Governor Newsom Signs CARE Court Into Law, Providing a New Path Forward for Californians Struggling with Serious Mental Illness ​

Published: Sep 14, 2022


Passed in the Legislature with overwhelming support, CARE Court is a first-in-the-nation framework to empower individuals suffering from untreated schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders

CARE Court is bolstered by the state’s $15.3 billion in funding to tackle homelessness and $11.6 billion annually in mental health services

SAN JOSE – Alongside state and local leaders and Californians impacted by mental illness, Governor Gavin Newsom today signed legislation enacting CARE Court,
a paradigm shift that will provide individuals with severe mental health and substance use disorders the care and services they need to get healthy.

The Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment Act – SB 1338 by Senator Thomas Umberg (D-Santa Ana) and Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton) –
will provide help upstream, ahead of conservatorships and outside the walls of institutions. Under CARE Court, families, clinicians, first responders and others will be able to
refer individuals suffering from schizophrenia spectrum or psychotic disorders.

“With overwhelming support from the Legislature and stakeholders across California, CARE Court will now become a reality in our state, offering hope and a new path forward for
thousands of struggling Californians and empowering their loved ones to help,” said Governor Newsom. “I thank our legislators and the broad coalition of partners who made this day
possible and look forward to our work ahead together to implement this transformative program in communities across California.”

CARE Court will be implemented statewide and will start with a phased-in approach. The first cohort to implement CARE Court includes the counties of Glenn, Orange, Riverside,
San Diego, Stanislaus, Tuolumne and San Francisco.

My beautiful state has got significantly better since we booted idiot non-hackers like vetteman, BotanyBoi, and babyboomer.

Hmmm...
Could we Californians round up some plane loads of Floridian and Texan born folks who would like to return HOME?

There are no laws about enabling AMERICANS to return to their places of origin, right? I'm sure we could get a plane load together and then a bus to deliver to some nice governor's doorstep!

Why the fuck not?!

Apparently that's the new CHRISTIAN ATTITUDE from Florida and Texas

God Forbid they (TEXAS) asks for MORE JUDGES to handle the NATIONAL immigrant overload. Let's Ship them a boatload of lawyers too!!

Florida????????????? They aren't a BORDER state. As I recall they wanted to KEEP a certain kid in Florida despite his father being in Cuba. Family Values!!
