Do thank another professional who has accepted your referral, because showing your appreciation will help develop your professional network. And do follow up to make sure that the referral led to contact. We have an ethical responsibility to determine whether the client made it to his or her appointment. Many times this may require the treatment professional to whom the referral was made to sign a release in order to talk with you. 

Developing a professional network helps counselors and therapists provide the best care possible to clients. Networks not only work to improve the treatment outcomes of clients, but also can increase the knowledge of therapists and counselors as well as provide for professional support to avoid burnout and poor decisions. Networks can make the process of referring clients much easier as well. 

Even when the path is unknown, there may be many clues about what may help. Novel problems may have some similarities to other, more well-known problems for which empirically validated interventions have been tested and developed. In such cases, those validated strategies may be modified to treat the problem at hand. In some instances, you may not have to reinvent the wheel so much as adjust it so it fits a different cart. In other cases, perhaps someone in your professional network has worked with a similar problem and can provide consultation regarding what she or he did, and whether it worked. 

If referrals are made in conjunction with the continuing care plan, then the procedures suggested for referrals in Chapters 2 and 3 should be followed. Professional networks can be used to make appropriate referrals. Continuity of care should be provided whenever possible during the referral process, and you should check with your client to make sure that contact with the referral was made within an appropriate amount of time and that the client finds the referral helpful.
