County of Marin Health and Human Services

CARE Team

(415) 847-1266

The CARE Team provides outreach and engagement services to homeless individuals with mental illness.

Operating out of the Enterprise Resource Center, the consumer-staffed CARE team provides “street-based” outreach, bringing engagement services to wherever they are needed, and establishing effective relationships with individuals who are reluctant to seek services because of the nature of their mental health symptoms. This team is also the primary source of referrals for the Odyssey Program for homeless adults with serious mental illness.

Mental Health and Substance Use Services (MHSUS) changed its name to Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS).  As such, all references in existing departmental policies and procedures to MHSUS can be understood to reference BHRS as well.
