* Before Detjen, Acting P.J., Franson, J. and De Santos, J.

S.A. (mother) contests the July 1, 2020, order, finding that the Stanislaus County Community Services Agency (agency) provided her reasonable services prior to the juvenile court’s termination of those services and the setting of a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.261 hearing. Mother contends this issue is properly before this court notwithstanding that no petition for extraordinary writ was taken from that order. We find no prejudicial error and affirm STATEMENT OF THE FACTS AND CASE Mother, age 28, has two children, A.A., now three-years-old, and B.A., now two- years-old.2 The father of the minors is unknown. On December 16, 2019, the agency received a referral that mother had been placed on an involuntary section 5150 hold and the minors had been placed with an uncle, an inappropriate caretaker. Mother had called law enforcement the previous evening, paranoid that people were following her. She was homeless and staying temporarily at a motel. Maternal grandmother, who lives in Alaska, reported that mother had been diagnosed with mental illness at age 20 and was not currently taking her medication. Maternal grandmother did not think mother was able to care for her children and that mother had little family support due to her emotionally and physically abusive behavior toward her family. Mother, when interviewed at the behavioral services center, stated she was there for mental health treatment and was taking Zoloft and two other medications, although she had not been given a diagnosis. Mother refused to give the social worker the address of the uncle caring for the minors, stating they could stay there with uncle and his “wife.” Mother did not have a plan for herself upon discharge and refused any services.
