These pamphlets and handouts may be given to persons seeking such information. ASSISTING IN REFERRALS After   counseling,   the   chaplain   may   decide that  a  referral  to  another  service,  agency,  or organization  is  the  best  course  of  action.  (The RP  should  always  bear  in  mind  that  counseling and  initiating  referrals  are  functions  of  the chaplain.) At that time, the chaplain will be able to  obtain  current  information  in  regard  to  the best  source  or  sources  of  help  for  a  particular client   from   the   information   contained   in   the I&R  Directory.  After  the  chaplain  has  selected the best resource agency or agencies for the per- son,  the  RP  can  provide  the  counselee  with  any additional  information  required  or  specified  by the chaplain, thus freeing the chaplain to assist other persons who may still be waiting. When  assisting  the  chaplain  with  a  referral, the  RP  should  avoid  making  specific  commit- ments  concerning  what  an  agency  will  do  for  a specific  client.  Exact  services  which  can  be  pro- vided are best determined by the agency to which the chaplain’s client is referred. In assisting the chaplain, the RP must ensure that personnel who are being referred to another source  of  assistance  know  where  they  are  to  go and what services or assistance they are likely to receive. The RP should provide these individuals with: Location,   telephone   number,   and   name of  a  contact  person  who  can  be  reached  at  the resource  agency. The  name  and  telephone  number  of  the chaplain making the referral in the event of any problem. When requested to do so by the chaplain, the RP   may   contact   the   resource   agency   to   help facilitate  a  client’s  referral.  The  RP  should always  keep  the  person’s  telephone  number  in order   to   provide   a   means   of   followup   unless otherwise   directed   by   the   chaplain.   When directed by the chaplain, the RP should provide followup information to ensure that the individ- ual’s  needs  have  been  met.  If  the  chaplain  has indicated that a person should request a humani- tarian reassignment or discharge, the RP should 5-6
