Summary: Runaway Adolescents

After reading the journal article, I do think that crisis service shelters are effective when addressing the issue of runaway adolescents. I think crisis service shelters can be a good help to runaway adolescents because it provides a safe space for them during their time of need. I used to be an intern at a shelter similar to the one talked about the article where I had to assist adolescents who’ve run away and provided resources for them to get back on their feet. Even though I do think these shelters are effective to runaway adolescents, I think more should be done in order to keep this issue from happening. In order for crisis service shelters to keep doing their job, more programs related to jobs and education need to be taken into consideration.
