California Mental Health Court

California Mental Health Court is a specialized court that addresses cases involving individuals with mental health challenges who have committed offenses. Its goal is to provide treatment and support rather than traditional punishment, helping participants improve their mental health and reduce the chance of reoffending. Participants often receive coordinated mental health services, counseling, and supervision, with the intention of promoting recovery and stability. The court emphasizes a collaborative approach among judges, mental health providers, and community resources to balance public safety with compassionate treatment.
