Eligibility Requirements

Services provided through the Contra Costa ACTiOn Team support consumers living in Contra Costa County who are suffering from persistent mental illness and qualify for AB1421 (Laura’s Law).  This Adult Full Service Partnership is a collaborative program that connects the resources of Mental Health Systems, Inc. and Contra Costa County Behavioral Health Services under the auspices of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). Eligible recipients must meet all AB 1421 (Laura’s Law) criteria, where the consumer is:

  • 18 and older with a persistent mental illness
  • Unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision
  • Demonstrates a lack of compliance with mental health treatment as demonstrated by: Hospitalization due to mental illness at least twice in the last 36 months Or one or more acts of violent behavior in the last 48 months
  • Resistant to mental health treatment
  • Substantially deteriorating
  • Likely to benefit from participation
  • Likely to avoid relapse or further deterioration with treatment
  • Not in need of higher level treatment (participation would be the least restrictive option to ensure recovery and stability)
