Supervisor Spiegel observed a press conference highlighting the groundbreaking California CARE Court legislation in early October. Riverside County is leading the charge as part of the initial group of counties diving into this progressive approach.

What's the CARE Court about?

• Community Assistance
• Recovery
• Empowerment

The CARE Act stands as a beacon of hope, offering mental health and substance use disorder services to those in our community grappling with homelessness or incarceration. A standout feature of this legislation allows family members and others to advocate for their loved ones by petitioning the Court for behavioral health interventions.
