For this milestone, you will submit a draft of the review of the case, including all critical elements listed below. Using the information reviewed for Milestone One, discuss information that can and cannot be released to a parole officer, particularly information about an individual who has a substance abuse diagnosis along with mental illness, and is being discharged from a psychiatric facility to the community. A state statute from your state of residence can provide information related to parole of individuals previously incarcerated. Provide an example of how an inappropriate release of confidential information can be remediated in order to prevent a lawsuit against the human services professional (HSP) and/or the agency. Some State Departments of Health and Human Services have information related to this issue. Make sure to review both federal and state statutes to gain a more comprehensive viewpoint.
