Abstract :The increasing number of children in need of care and protection (CNCP) worldwide attracts attention from policymakers as they constitute an essential part of society. There are concerns that in some countries, even the basic needs of these children are not met. On the contrary, Türkiye continues its rehabilitation services for CNCP within the institutional child care. Rehabilitation services in Türkiye have become much more effective today due to developments that are parallel to the practices in developed countries in the world and are considered an example of innovation. Therefore, this study examines the rehabilitation services applied in different institutional child care homes where CNCP live, based on the current literature in the context of today\\\'s changing conditions and new legal regulations. In this sense, the Anka Child Support Program implemented in the Specialized Children\\\'s Homes Sites and the Child Support Development and Education Program (CODEP) prepared explicitly for children in the Children\\\'s Home and Children\\\'s Homes Site were examined. Additionally, rehabilitation services implemented in childcare institution models in Türkiye were evaluated in terms of education and mental health. In this study, findings and implications were discussed to provide practice and policy recommendations on the subject.
