The San Bernardino Superior Court is rolling out a new way to connect residents with mental health support and court services. On Friday, December 12, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the Joshua Tree Courthouse will host a special Mobile CARE Court event featuring the first public appearance of the Court’s brand-new community outreach vehicle, Justice in Motion.
This pop-up event brings key services directly to the Morongo Basin, offering residents an opportunity to receive help without traveling long distances. Community members can meet with staff for assistance with court forms, speak with a judicial officer for on-site CARE Court eligibility reviews, and get guidance from San Bernardino County’s Department of Behavioral Health.
CARE Court is designed for adults living with schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders who would benefit from a structured, supportive plan that is less restrictive than hospitalization or conservatorship. Eligible participants are typically those who are not stable in voluntary treatment and are likely to benefit from a coordinated CARE plan focused on recovery. This outreach effort is part of the Court’s ongoing commitment to making services more accessible across the region. For details on this and other upcoming court events, visit sb-court.org.
