California's controversial CARE Court brings mental health care into the courtroom | 60 Minutes

[@crissw2471]

Conservatorship will not apply to people with depression, bipolar, or anything really other than schizophrenia. Families who care about their children, aunts, uncles, parents with schizophrenia have been asking for something like this for decades.

[@12345CONWAY]

My uncle is severely schizophrenic. He has been missing for 5 days now. He needs to be institutionalized. He deserves a sound mind

[@12345CONWAY]

He was just found alive spun out and 40 miles from home. I literally had to smash a meth pipe on concrete tonight but at least he's alive

[@johnchristensen9826]

​@@12345CONWAYI want to say if you can be a good family member and offer him help a safe place to withdraw from the meth because he needs to sleep and get his brain balanced back to normal for him

[@12345CONWAY]

@johnchristensen9826 he's off now for 4 days but with or without drugs he sees and hears things. He can't live with anyone in the family because he screams, gets violent, steals ( if he's on drugs) , accuses people of stealing his ssi. We do what we can by finding him places to live ( until he gets kicked out) . He says meth calms his voices and honestly I believe it but it makes him unbearable to be around. I've convinced him to go to a psychiatric doctor this coming Saturday and hopefully get him a shot of medication

Maybe California should send a bill to other states when they treat and help people who are homeless who are out of state. Other states have failed to help their own people who then migrate their way to California.

[@dirtcycle1773]

Same with illegals

[@artholyoke]

That’s the thinking that got California in trouble. If we tax or send the bill to someone else everything will be fine. We keep throwing money at the problem with no results. We might hurt someone’s feelings by putting them in jail or a correction facility to help them get off drugs and treat them

[@mrnelsonius5631]

I live in Los Angeles and this is true. If you are unhoused in Detroit, you can freeze to death. In Arizona the summers will bake you. SoCal in particular is nice weather, outside, year round. If you have to be homeless this is the place to more easily survive on the streets. Lots of tourists and wealthier inhabitants outside to scavenge wasted food and cigarettes from too, panhandle. I talk to unhoused people here often. Most are not from California. They got on buses trying to find a more tolerable place to survive on the streets.

[@williamryan9195]

What is not being discussed here is the fact that someone taking medicine for mental illness needs a stable living situation in order for the recovery to set in and it cannot be achieved by medicine alone. Most of the people living on the streets would better be helped by proper nutrition, access to clean water and restrooms to start the process. The State had a 1600 acre facility built in the 1800s in Eldridge California to handle this type of recovery. It was sold to real estate developers while under this Governors watch. The first step to solving this issue is to recognize that the World has always had people that have problems in society including poverty and housing needs to be available to accommodate them. With no low and no income housing the problem will never be fixed.

[@angelmendez2211]

I think they changed it to include that yesterday or something like that.

[@Mike-01234]

Governor he has lot to be blamed for with homeless and drug addicts. When he decimalized hard drug use the result was millions more addicts.

[@mrnelsonius5631]

I agree with this, I agree with the ACLU… however I think care court may still be a move in the right direction and here’s why: Americans are politically resistant to providing free health care with their tax dollars. To anyone. You get called a communist. A well funded Public Health Service would require an entirely new institution voters largely don’t want to pay for. The Care Court idea is basically “sneak it in, attached to the court system” because that institution already exists and it is already being used as the only government apparatuses for dealing with the mental health and homelessness crises… in inhumane way that isn’t working. Care court is a compromise, let’s make it less inhumane because otherwise we’ll all get called socialists and any new institutions will be dismantled politically.

[@jeffreyvalentyn6815]

@@Mike-01234when did he decriminalize hard drug use?

[@jeffreyvalentyn6815]

I don’t know if that’s the case. People make the mistake of thinking that homelessness can be solved by a few simple solutions when that’s not the case. If we were to subscribe to your notion, why didn’t projects room key and home key solve homelessness? While I think both projects were vital, homelessness didn’t improve all that much as we can see today. What largely resulted was many recipients of the program decided to leave and go back on the streets. The solutions often posited do increase the likelihood of homelessness reducing, but it’s largely marginal. The issue is largely two fold: 1. The immense unaffordability of housing in CA (as it can deter many from pursuing housing) and 2. The context in which homeless people grew up and currently live (i.e lack of/strained familial relationships, lack of education, preexisting mental conditions, and drug use). I don’t think there is a clear cut solution, but I think this is absolutely a step in the right direction

[@Julieglam3]

That woman is so out of touch. This situation has gone on LONG ENOUGH. The civil court system is the tough love we need to get mental health to the homeless. I am sick of the problem. Accountability has become a joke within all aspects of our society now. There has to be accountability to have any order or to get real, necessary mental health to the people who need it the most. If a person is on the streets with a serious mental health issue they have no mental bandwidth to know they even have a problem so of course they think they don't need/want help. But if they GET it, then they will be able to get off the streets. I don't agree with much that the governor has done for California. But this I do. No one else has come up with a better idea. All the naysayers do is WHINE AND COMPLAIN. We have run out of time for that crap. Action needs to be taken NOW.

[@hollybock8463]

Except there is now nothing stopping an abusive family member from complaining to a mental health worker when A) the disabled person living with them becomes inconvenient or try’s to fight back (I can see this being used as a legitimate threat) or B) when the disabled person decides they can no longer take the abuse the family member can claim they’ve gone “psychotic” and then get these courts involved with little pushback from the person these courts are supposedly trying to help. So no now we are truly second class citizens. Where the hell is the ADA?

[@patriciajump9511]

Listen, I am a retired psychiatric registered nurse clinician. I worked in a state hospital for ten years. Let me tell you, if you think the solution that will help the homeless mentally ill is to OFFER psychiatric care to ALL people with serious psychiatric illness, it won't work. The ones on the street, the sickest ones, are STILL not going to want to take the medicine that will allow them to be free of the psychotic thinking that is a barrier to them taking proper care of their own selves. Just as you don't let babies run into the street, you don't let the helpless be ruled by their psychotic thinking, to their own serious detriment. It won't be a perfect solution, but it is humane and better than ignoring these helpless people. It will only identify the people whose psychiatric illness makes them a danger to themselves or others and/or which makes it impossible for them to care for themselves or accept help to do so.

[@revracentertainment]

This wont work, if you force help it will have an adverse effect. Just make the help more affordable.

[@Bizhead3]

I worked with the homeless and drug addicted and what always happens is the people with serious mental health illness forget, loose or simply end up incapable due to street life to take meds that help them. After all you see and feel, what they need simultaneously is a home and a buddy, no matter how challenging they are. I think it may be with a try..but for God's sake house them, the streets are dark.. all day.

Bravo, Governor Newsom! The mentally ill victims need support. I'm the mother of a daughter with a mental disorder, and she suffers from previous homelessness.

Since much of the United States took Government and Civics courses out of education, many people don't understand or they forget the basic tenants of "freedom". People's freedoms end when their actions interfere with the rights and freedoms of a neighbor. It seems we are are left with the recurring question: Where do my rights end and yours begin? As stated in a quote by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (and validated during numerous Supreme Court cases) "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins." You are free to swing your arms around and say whatever you want. But those rights end when you interfere with someone else's rights and liberties. I live in Los Angeles and have a basic right to safety. People have a basic right to not have bottles thrown at them, have their children step on needles, have their walking impeded or to walk through the the feces of others. California's new CARE Court underscores the basic foundations of liberties and freedoms.

[@Paradigm-change]

I am glad to see someone finally willing to at least try to manage this problem. Get some of the people off the darn streets. It's awful seeing what is happening to California-LA has always had that weird dichotomy between the rich and the poor. But it's not something that should be ignored and it's good to see someone stand up and do something. Good for him. 💙Gavin Newsom President 2028💙

[@colleen4029]

It won’t significantly reduce the number of people on the streets. It might only help a few people. It’s some thing, it’s just not enough. And the people who think it’s cruel to put someone under a conservatorship or forcibly, take them off the streets to get them evaluated, or that they need to be able to make their own decisions may have good hearts but are ignoring the elephant in the room. These people can’t make their own decisions, which is why they live on the streets.

[@EBR1]

People end up on the streets for many reasons. Loss of a job and no family support will eventually make you homeless, and so will being kicked out of where you live by a spouse or by family. We're forgetting that homelessness is primarily due to POVERTY, not mental illness. The mental illness may develop later as a result of hard times (trauma) and lack of proper nutrition, but it's not the cause of homelessness. This is just another opportunity for big pharma to make a few more billion and I'm wondering how much of that Gavin is getting or what he's getting from big Pharma. Time will tell.

[@voscott]

Conservatives want us to believe this is California’s problem. The reality is that this is a national problem and our healthcare’s continuing failure to care for its citizens to the extent that the problem could bring the US to its knees. The US has to enact comprehensive nationalized healthcare (mental, dental, vision, addiction, disability, and general healthcare for all). This includes locked residential mental health facilities for those suffer from mental health issues so intense that they are unable to care for themselves. We have to do better by our for our citizenry. Currently, we are a heartless country.

[@SkylerAdriel]

There are people that have just mental illness, but the problem you see on the streets in San Fransisco and a few other of California's larger cities is mental illness induced by drugs so I'm really curious how this is actually going to be classified. Not including brain damage from drug use will be pretty useless on a larger scale picture if there goal is to clean up the street and not secretly pad their wallets. And many addicts rather be on the street than sober so most of these cases will be met with folks that do not want to participate. And believe me, you don't want to stick a hundred meth and heroin addicts in a large apartment complex together. They will tear that complex down and damage it to the point of no return in a matter of months. I like that there is some call to action on this problem, but I question how practical and thought out it is. First, at one point are they going to admit that they lost the decriminalizing drug war? and Second, unfortunately many of these people don't need an apartment, many sadly do get to a point of no return and do need a long term care facility. While you do want to have hope for people, you have to look at the statistics and ask yourself what is the long-term solution for people who cannot get better. A lot of these people are straight up brain damaged for life, I hate to say it and they can't be trusted to make proper decisions for themselves. I've lost two close people to drugs, and there was nothing in this world that would have turned them around.

[@tombauereiss4931]

Spot on Governor Newsom. Finally, a politician willing to step up and propose a solution that makes a lot of sense. I have a lot of hope for care court.

CARE COURT WILL BE HUGE FAILURE....

[@justmyopinion2]

*CARE Court is exactly what is needed!* The drawback to conservatorships are the outdated laws that are on the books that make it VERY difficult to force care even with CARE Court in place. Anosognosia is a condition that some schizophrenic and bipolar people have, the brain tricks them into thinking they are perfectly normal and they don't need treatment even though they are extremely psychotic. I lit up like a firecracker while listening to Eve Garrow from the ACLU. Extreme psychosis means the person can't choose which meds to take, certain medicinal cocktails work, others don't. A false dichotomy? Try again! For the sickest population it does mean without treatment they often do eventually die. They live for years out of touch with reality in the cold and rain, hungry, dirty, self medicating often ending up in jail only to be released again. She is living in kumbaya la la land! JFK did pass a bill for community mental healthcare in 1963, it wasn't funded and meanwhile institutions were shuttered. Sure, more services would be very helpful for the people well enough to seek it. For others, they NEED forced treatment. My son was one such case. He was a paranoid schizophrenic chronically homeless man that was under a conservatorship, once. It worked!! He was stabilized and it was shocking to see the major difference in him. After 1 year the court released him because he did SO well, yeah, mental illness doesn't disappear like that, so stupid! He slipped away and we couldn't stop it legally. This last May my middle aged son was found unresponsive in a parking garage likely from a Fentanyl laced joint. He was resuscitated and kept alive for 11 days since he was an organ donor. He needed help and the system failed him. *HELL YES to the CARE Court system!* I hope it saves the lives of other parent's kids, it's too late for mine.

[@liljohn3152]

I'm terribly sorry to hear this of your son. My sincere condolences. I'm a middle aged man who suffered from mental illness. I hope it doesn't get to this point for me. I'm currently in treatment and it helps. This program seems impressive. Something is better than nothing. Like Governor Newsom said, if it doesn't work, we learn from it and try something else. But we need to try. Good points about those who are well enough to seek it. What many dont understand, is that in severe mental illness, often the person isn't stable enough to make the decisions needed to actually get better. And perhaps a system in place to sort of force or impose treatment, isn't such a terrible idea. Have a great day.

[@justmyopinion2]

@@liljohn3152, thank you, I appreciate that. I can tell you are light years ahead, my son was so psychotic that he didn't know who he was any longer. His brain eventually erased us altogether, he was very sick. I agree, this program will give people a chance at stabilizing, it's the missing piece in a really broken system. A lot of people don't understand that in some cases mentally ill people have anosognosia, the inability to see themselves as they actually are. They think they are just fine, they aren't, their brain has tricked them. I have hope that lives will be saved. I wish you all the best it sounds like you are self aware and willing, that's crucial.

If you ever experience what it is truly like, how bad the problem is, then you know that something needs to be done, and swiftly done. It’s not good that people lose civil liberties, or are at risk of such. Yet, so many people are so obviously ill, that they may not actually be able to decide what is best for their own health and wellbeing? Yes, mental health services need to be made more accessible. But I don’t know if Gov Newsom can invent more trained therapists and create more psych care clinics? I hope his plan goes through, and saves lives. Also, that it restores cities to a healthier environment (human feces in the streets etc is creating very unhealthy public environs,) and all of the other harsh and dangerous issues that have developed, as well as criminality.

Welcome to capitalism.

[@c.s.440]

Open a book because you clearly don't know what capitalism is if you're calling this capitalism! This Authoritarianism, fascism and communism.

This report is so one-sided. I lost respect for 60 minutes.

Psychiatric prescriptions cause long term physical and cognitive damage, so effects include lactating breast in men, increase glycosaminoglycans causing countless effects, honestly pretty much everything in the book

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

​@DMarshallSR no psychiatric prescriptions are worse or at least tied to the worst but taken daily, almost all the crazy shooters were on PSYCHIATRIC PRESCRIPTIONS a listed side/adverse effect is increased homicidality and suicidality.

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

​@DMarshallSR u are showing u agenda and monetary interest. But that costs tax payers $1,500 to $6,000 a day per patient pre covid possibly twice as much now, with the effects of psychiatric prescriptions being far worse

I would never vote for a politician who laughs at restricting a person's civil rights and then stamps his feet as this politician does. Medical incarceration. Yep. Shoe fits. Wear it.

Už by se mělo začít mluvit trochu víc nahlas o mém duševním zdraví! Je zřejmé, že to není v pořádku :D Musíme k soudu :D :D :D :D Tím Mulač vyhrožoval hnedka po tom, co si místo dohodnutí se jako bílej, rozhodl, že mě vyhodí a začne mě všude očerňovat :D Hrdina pražskýho podsvětí :D

You could provide a million new psychiatrist and a severely mentally ill person is not going

If Keanu Reeves didn't play the Devil's Advocate w/Al Pacino u get Gavin Newsome and a lot of conwomen, 60 minutes crossed the line they should just cancel the show in disgrace ehh ehhhh

[@OxHelloPressureSpeakingOx]

Sooooooowhy did you let it go THIS FAR? Why wasn’t something done a long longggg while ago???? This is what happens when you DON’T DO YOUR JOB!! 🙃 STOP TALKING AND START ACTING/DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT ~ This is NOT a way of life - and if you’re not with your country/people then he needs to GET OUT OF THE WAY for someone else to do the right thing/job - WE’VE GOT SH*T TO DOOOO!!! 😆😂

[@minemm]

I find this embarrassing for the 60 minutes legacy. Interviewers tried really hard to demonize this new mental health initiative but fail to do the bare minimum of suggesting an alternative that you’d think would better address the problem.

[@NoNameNumberTwo]

Big Farmuh probably had a very active role in the creation of Care Court. #itsallaboutthebenjaminsbaby 🤑

[@sbrecke1507]

Could be costly and strip people of their rights? Well, lets think this thur. The general population has to put up with the criminal acts committed by these people. Its a start

[@sfstilter]

Gavin created all this crap 20 years ago. This is all his fault and now he's acting like he's the hard stance good guy.

[@jlvandat69]

Newsom was a mayor 20 years ago, and was one of the first political leaders to work on solutions to homelessness. Discard your political bias and give credit where credit is due.

[@sfstilter]

@@jlvandat69​​⁠ yea I lived in SF and watched him usher is the homeless industry first hand. I also watched him do a lot of other really bad things for the city as well. It has nothing to do with political bias. He has ruined my beloved city and now this state.

[@johnanderson8046]

I'm no Gavin fan but you're wrong on this.

[@mariehod4767]

When Supreme Court Justice was talking about "Broccoli" and Obamacare it may have been a metaphor for Psychiatric prescriptions. Psychiatric Prescriptions which cause permenant retardation (the legal health term)
