| Service Providers
The service providers that were interviewed were from both private and public institutions. The six (6) from private institutions stated that they do not have reunification programs (89%) and one (11%) public institution agreed to have monitoring forms which are not even evaluated because the child absconds prior to their evaluation. Service providers also mentioned that they lacked the skills necessary to deal with uncontrollable children. They further stated that they lack the training and interpersonal skills necessary to discipline the children in shelters. Minuchin as cited by Jayes (1985) referred to the difficulties encountered by a child who has several authority figures in the home, often issuing conflicting instructions. Such a set up is unhealthy for a child’s psychological well-being.
