Establishes a continuum of care for severe mental illness in Massachusetts.

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws to provide a continuum of care for severe mental illness. It introduces provisions for critical community mental health services, including the establishment of a treatment plan that defines a set of health, behavioral health, or social services delivered to an individual. The bill outlines the criteria for individuals eligible for these services, the process for petitioning the court for such services, and the conditions under which a supervising mental health professional may petition for termination of a service plan.
