CARE Act
The CARE Act allows certain adult people to ask (petition) a court to create a voluntary CARE agreement or a court-ordered CARE plan for someone with untreated schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. A CARE agreement or plan may include treatment, housing resources, and other services.
