CASE STUDY 16:  The Centerville Emergency Shelter is situated in a commercial neighborhood near the center of the city, in an area that includes many abandoned storefronts and a few parks. The building includes two dormitories, a common living room, a kitchen/dining room, and two communal bathrooms. The shelter’s part of the building is a relatively small space.    There are eight teens living at the shelter.  Most of them have been involved, on and off, with child protective services and/or the juvenile court system for years. Six have been living on the streets prior to entering the emergency shelter. All eight of the residents and two CYC practitioners were returning from spending an hour playing basketball at an area park.  Two youth, who were friends in their community prior to their residence at the shelter, were playfully “trash talking” with each other on the trip back.  Jerome, one of the CYC practitioners, commented that friendly affectionate banter is okay as long as it contains no put-downs or gang slang. Sandra, the other CYC practitioner in the van, remained silent. As the boys exited the van, several of them playfully pushed each other and were loud.  Jerome stayed with the van to clean and lock it up.  Meanwhile, Sandra unlocked the door of the building and reminded the youth that they needed to calm down and put away their gym clothes. Continuing their horse-play, one youth pushed another youth hard enough for him to fall onto the couch. Bill, another CYC practitioner who had not gone with them on the outing, entered the room as this happened.  He immediately called a group session with a loud, commanding voice and presence.  The group meeting was focused on ‘personal boundaries.’  Bill and Sandra addressed when to stop playing around, how to stop before getting into someone else’s personal space, and why self-control is important. The discussion centered on “rough housing” and “horseplay,” which are not safe or allowed inside the program building.  Bill explained to the youth, “The room was not big enough for any kind of rough housing.”
