Meeting Description
For our November General Meeting, we will utilize the time to advance our efforts to support Contra Costa County as we implement the Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court. CARE Court is a new framework to get people with mental health and substance use disorders the support and care they need. CARE plans ensure participants receive a broad range of necessary services, including short-term stabilization medications, wellness and recovery supports, and connection to other social services such as housing.
NAMI CC staff, allies, and attendees of our Care Court Information and Listening Session held on October 25, 2024 will debrief and share their thoughts. NAMI Contra Costa is excited about moving toward next steps. We invite family members who have anxiously been waiting for this Act to be implemented in Contra Costa County in Cohort 2 in December 2024 to get more information about how to advocate for their loved ones.
Good News! NAMI CC’s “Leave No One Behind” program has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the City of Concord (the largest city in the county) to address the needs of the Unsheltered. It is our desire to spread this approach across the county and will continue the work in Antioch (second largest city in the county) where we launched the “Leave No One Behind” program three years ago. Please join us as we discuss Care Court and other legislation including Prop 1 and learn more about how the election results of Tuesday, November 5th, 2024 will impact us all.
