I am very pleased to announce that Santa Clara has published their annual report for the public guardian/ conservator. Their agency has been touted as the paradigm for public guardian programs. Santa Clara tends to place a great deal of emphasis on the conservatee's well being. and treatment. Their agency has fewer workloads for their workers. To see here are some of their stats below.

To begin their staffing is far more diverse. They actually have organized roles that helps staff with reducing the amount of work that they must perform. With specialized tasks each person can focus on what they need to be doing not picking up the slack for another person. Seems small but this accounts for a lot of lagging and backlog with child welfare that lacks such precise organization.

​

I like it when a county publishes their numbers. It really shows transparency and how effective their system works. It is expected but nice to know that their LPS conservatorship unit has the greatest number of conservatees.  Because of this they have really refined their conservatorship program. Because of their resources they are able to take on more cases than other counties who are stripped for funding and resources. 

They also add insights and personal stories of conservatees. The agency highlights some of the ways conservatees have been impacted by the public conservator's help. Even though the stories seem generic, there are no other agencies that I know of who highlight personal instances where the conservatees benefitted from public conservator assistance.

A LPS or mental health conservatorship starts with an implementation for conservatorship completed by a person who was allowed to write on LPS that holds and filed with the Office of the Public Guardian. We have trusted in the wellbeing, treatment, and freedom of all those treated in the County of Santa Clara. Regardless of the hope that treatment can be optional, it sometimes becomes important to carry someone against their will, when they become a risky for themselves, others or seriously disabled as an outcome of their mental health treatment. In these conditions, the county has granted to choose few of the benefits of apprehending those who need it. It is a benefit and a goodness to be offered the power to apprehend others. Most notably, we wish all those granted this benefit will take the time to think about of all accessible alternatives heedfully and act with unselfishness, cultural consciousness, and an understanding of the stigma connected with mental health threats.
