| Summary: | 碩士 === 世新大學 === 性別研究所 === 106 === This research mainly explores the life experience of long-term sheltering adolescent girls, before and after counselling service, thus influence and shaping their views of the concept “Home”. The pass researches which related to child and adolescent welfare placement, mainly understand the business model of the shelter agency through social work theory, viewing if they meet the concept/criteria of “Home”. Yet, this research based on qualitative method, in-depth interviewed 8 adolescent girls who lived in the same long-term shelter, understood how they treat their living experience between the pass and ongoing sheltered life through female narrative perspective, analysis how the girls interweave their own point of view of “Home” through two life experiences.
The study found that adolescent girls used to being subjected to domestic violence and neglect, but they feel more support and care after they came to the sheltering centre, an all-girl environment decreases discrimination between genders, let them no longer feel “value boys over girls” like they used to experience during they were living with their own families. Sheltering life loosening the imagination of “Home” of those girls, they do not consider their future home within a traditional genetically related form anymore.
At last, the research bases on the feedbacks that adolescent girls gave out during interviews, suggests service advices to the sheltering centre, it is expected that the service model of sheltering centres can be more in line with sheltering adolescent girls’ needs.
