• LPS Conservatorship Mentoring Meetings

    NAMI Urban Los Angeles along with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) work together to offer zoom classes for those seeking to learn about the laws and processes regarding LPS Conservatorship for their loved ones, the new CARE ACT and Pilot project for Homeless people. LPS Conservatorship is the term for California's involuntary mental health treatment. Our class Saturday is designed to walk you through the process beginning with placing your loved one in the hospital, acquiring financial resources and insurance, building a case for treatment, the legal court process and recovery expectations. The class Sunday is specifically designed to provide guidance and information for families who have a loved one under the LPS Conservatorship or the treating doctor has initiated the LPS Conservatorship.

    You can sign up for our next class or join our waiting list below.
