When a client has reached a decision for resolution of the pregnancy, the expectant mother and the expectant father may be in need of support and additional services to carry out the decision. A structured "service plan" with stated objectives and strategies for achieving them will be developed jointly by the client and the caseworker. The need for additional services will be explored with the client and available resources necessary to accomplish the chosen alternative will be located and identified. Resources may include services provided through the county department of social services or by other agencies and facilities, such as medical care, transportation, housing, financial assistance, residential care, child care, education, legal services, employment, etc. Referrals will be made to appropriate agencies, and assistance will be given to enable the client to reach needed services. Follow-up will be carried out to determine that services were secured and that they were provided appropriately.
The cost of "arranging for" other services is included as an element of Pregnancy Services. "Arranging for" does not include the purchase or direct provision of services not included in the definition.
