A. Within ten (10) days after the admission of a minor for

inpatient treatment, the person in charge of the facility in which

the minor is being treated shall ensure that an individualized

treatment plan has been prepared by the person responsible for the

treatment of the minor. The minor shall be involved in the

preparation of the treatment plan to the maximum extent consistent

with the ability of the minor to understand and participate. The

parent or legal custodian of the minor or, if the minor is in the

custody of the Department of Human Services or the Office of

Juvenile Affairs, the designated representative of the applicable

agency, shall be involved to the maximum extent consistent with the

treatment needs of the minor.

B. The facility shall discharge the minor when appropriate

facility medical staff determine the minor no longer meets the

admission or commitment criteria. If not previously discharged, a

minor committed by a court for inpatient treatment shall be

discharged upon the expiration of a court order committing the minor

for inpatient treatment or an order of the court directing the

discharge of the minor.

C. Prior to the discharge of the minor from inpatient

treatment, a discharge plan for the minor shall be prepared and

explained to the minor and the parent or the person responsible for

the supervision of the case. The plan shall include but not be

limited to:

1. The services required by the minor in the community to meet

the needs of the minor for treatment, education, housing, and

physical care and safety;

2. Identification of the public or private agencies that will

be involved in providing treatment and support to the minor;

3. Information regarding medication which should be prescribed

to the minor; and

4. An appointment for follow-up outpatient treatment and

medication management.

D. Upon the discharge of the minor from inpatient treatment, a

designee of the facility shall inform the parent or person

responsible for the supervision of the case of the importance of

disclosing the mental health needs of the minor to the minor's

resident school district as provided for in Section 1 of this act

including disclosure in whole or in part of the minor's discharge

plan prepared pursuant to subsection C of this section as

appropriate and consistent with applicable law.
