California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Kern County and others for slow progress in CARE Court, a program connecting mentally ill individuals with treatment and support. Despite Newsoms concerns, Kern County officials defend their efforts, highlighting successful early interventions and personalized treatment plans. Kern Behavioral Health reports around 200 referrals, with 40% receiving help without court petitions. The state focuses on petition numbers, but Kern County emphasizes broader engagement and success in diverting individuals to care early. For mental health assistance, call Kerns crisis line at 1-800-991-5272.
