加利福尼亚州援外社法院的法律导致主要是自愿的心理健康治疗,由于基于信任的推广,法院命令很少。 California’s CARE Court law has led to mostly voluntary mental health treatment, with few court orders due to trust-based outreach.

加利福尼亚州颁布了一项法律,允许法院授权对患有严重精神疾病的人进行治疗,两年后,州主要采用自愿、密集的外联方式,而不是强迫手段。 Two years after California enacted a law allowing courts to mandate treatment for individuals with severe mental illness, the state is primarily using voluntary, intensive outreach rather than coercion. 在像奥兰治郡这样的县里, 社工进行多次访问, 有时数十次, 与精神分裂症患者建立信任, Social workers in counties like Orange County conduct repeated visits—sometimes dozens—to build trust with people with conditions like schizophrenia, supported by funding from the CARE Court program that covers costs traditional healthcare doesn’t. 截至9月底,全州有600多人自愿接受照料,但只有19人经法院命令接受照料,这反映出普遍倾向于长期、非强制性参与而不是执法。 As of late September, over 600 people statewide entered care voluntarily, but only 19 were court-ordered, reflecting a widespread preference for persistent, non-coercive engagement over legal enforcement. 法官很少利用其权力强迫治疗,相信信任和耐心能够产生更好的结果。 Judges rarely use their authority to compel treatment, believing trust and patience yield better outcomes.
