I think we help her.  She is a minor (at least in Canada.  I don't know
about US law).  She is a former client, and I think we have a
responsibility to her.  I would take the crisis call, whether or not it
is part of my job.

> 2)  What prior agreement had been made? Eg. "call me whenever you

While boundary issues might be present here, I would see them as part of
her problem and in need of treatment.  I would not take her to task on
this in the middle of her crisis, though.

As psychologists, I think we need to know of the available resources in
the community, and would be negligent otherwise.  In Canada, a call to
social workers would be legally required, and they would find
accomodation for the girl and would "manage" her case.
