The research was designed in the qualitative research method. The phenomenology design was used in the research. The data of the study were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers.

There are one institution manager, one social worker and two child development experts in the working group. The data obtained from the research were analyzed by content analysis. According to the results obtained from the research, CHCC center employees stated that the problems they encounter with children are mostly “breaking the rules, trying to escape and behavior problems”. It was concluded that the most common problems they encounter with parents are: the parents have weak emotional bonds with their children, their relationships are not healthy, they comfort children with statements such as “I will take you with me” or use false statements such as “they do not give you to me”; moreover, they want their children to stay in government institutions and become civil servants in the future, and they try to bend the institution’s rules. According to the director of the establishment, it was noted that the most common problems related to financial, administrative and other official issues were mostly due to appropriations and that there was not enough appropriation. It has been concluded that the most common problems related to the physical structure and equipment are that their establishment is an old structure, the equipment is old and insufficient, the number of rooms is low, the necessary activity and meeting areas are not available, and the establishment is quite far from the city center.
