Referrals to support groups and social services can provide ongoing emotional and financial support for the family as they manage the child's condition. Short-term support may not be sufficient for a chronic condition like aplastic anemia. While genetic counseling may be appropriate in some cases, it is not necessarily required for all children with aplastic anemia. Nutrition counseling may be helpful, but it is not the priority in the discharge plan.
