Abstract

Family and social reintegration of
children and teenagers kept away from their families
and institutionalized due to maltreatment, is a
challenge of significant proportions. This study aims
to evaluate and diagnose the present social and
family status of ex-inmates in an institution in the south
of Brazil, which shelters them temporarily. The
subjects are families that participated in a program
of family reintegration carried out by that institution
during the period their children stayed there. Data
were gathered through an interview and
questionnaire. The results evidenced those families’
status in terms of their inclusion in the job market
and school; family interactions; main factors that
influence favorably or unfavorably in the reintegration
process they have been experiencing. Some
challenges involved in the process of family and
social reintegration of those temporary shelters’ exinmates
are discussed.
