How to Refer Kids Needing Services

• Use this card as a screening tool to help you identify systemic problems facing the patient or patient's family that are having a negative impact on the health or welfare of the child.



• Once you have identified the issue, make a referral by either calling the agency listed, providing that information to your patient or patient's family, or refering the patient to the hospital social worker or case manager.



• If your office does not have a social worker or case manager, see if the patient has a case manager in the community.



• You can also call KIDS LEGAL at 774-8246 (in the Portland area) or 1-866-624-7787 (toll free).
