vi. Discussion at the Child/Family Team meeting of the availability of services provided by the FSO. The care manager shall ensure that the family is provided with the FSO information appropriate for the family's geographic location and shall document the receipt of the information in the child, youth or young adult's record; and

vii. If CP & P and/or Family Court/Probation will be involved after the transition/discharge, a CSA/CP & P/YCM/Family Court/Probation interface process shall be established, which shall include identification of designated individuals in each specific agency or entity.

(b) The care management entity identified in the transition/discharge plan shall assure that the transition/discharge plan is implemented.
