1. Record in your contact notes a termination interview, indicating the reason for termination and any follow-up arrangements you made for the client after he leaves your services. Indicate if others were present, such as relatives or a worker from a new service where your client will be going. Document where you conducted the interview. Refer to the goals for such an interview in this chapter. 

2. Write your client a letter as a follow-up to this interview, summarizing for the client the discussion and resolutions that took place in your last contact. If you have the client’s permission to do so, indicate that you are sending a copy of your letter to the person who was present for the termination interview. 

3. Prepare a discharge summary on your client. It will be the last item in the client’s chart. Use the guidelines for a discharge summary found in this chapter.
