Program Description

The Community Assistance Recovery and Empowerment Act (CARE Act) was enacted in 2022 by Senate State Bill 1338. The CARE Act authorizes a person to petition a civil court to create a voluntary CARE agreement or plan and to implement services including stabilizing medication, housing, and other enumerated services for a respondent. The county behavioral health department must provide these services. To qualify, the respondent must be over the age of 18 years and suffer from a severe mental illness with a schizophrenia diagnosis or other psychotic disorders. As mandated, Alameda County implemented the CARE Act Court (CAC) in December 2024.

This program will discuss the requirements for CAC, who can petition, how to petition, and the status of implementation of the court here in Alameda County as part of the Probate Department.
