LAURA’s Law
Laura’s Law allows courts to order certain historically violent, dangerous, or incarcerated individuals to accept treatment as a condition of living in the community. To be eligible individuals must have a serious mental illness that causes them to be unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision, and been in a hospital, prison or jail at least twice within the last thirty-six months; or involved in acts, attempts or threats of serious violent behavior toward self or others within the last forty-eight months.

My son Has been diagnosed with schizophrenic as of October 2019
I start at the program with you in March 2020 everything was going fine until my son took off and has not been found until September 25,2030 because we did not know his whereabouts the process with LACDMH stopped .
I’d like to know what can I do now to continue to have this program go again. He his currently in and out of the hospital and will refuse to take medicine. Because he’s been off with medication since March 2020 He starting to hallucinate and have the same problems again,
I’m scared I don’t know what to do he’s 19 years old It will not get the help he needs.
Ps: I also heard for the six months he had disappeared he had been robbed two times at gunpoint and has been sleeping at Parks in benches
I’m sorry but your question is really beyond my pay grade. I’m a Health Insurance broker and have this page up as mental health treatment is a mandated essential benefit under ACA/Health Care Reform/aka Obamacare
See above and the brochure in the above right, the phone and email is listed for the Department of Mental Health.
