This study aimed to verify the perception of adolescent mothers sheltered during the pre- and post-birth of their babies and used the theoretical foundation of D.W.Winnicott to recognize the emotional needs conflicts of adolescents in these periods. Individuals interviews were conducted using as a support an adapted screenplay refering to those periods; the interviews were analyzed and the emotional conflicts were associated with the theory of emotional maturation. The holding was considered the key factor to deal with the complexity of conflicts involved in that period. The environment should be prepared to understand defensive attitudes deriving from family conflicts and situations of life marked by helplessness. Some defensive mechanisms were identified as false-self, antisocial tendency, as well as depression and dissociation states. The understanding of these mechanisms contributes to change the way to host adolescents and promote the conditions to their emottional maturing. Ensure the health of mothers and their babies and, contribute to the quality of the mother-infant relationship and prevent actions that cause trauma. Professionals working in this area need skills on issues involving the emotional maturity; so they can minimize the emotional tension caused by the responsibility assumed by them. Adolescents seek rapid growth, if they are impulsed to it, the result will be a false maturity and the impossibility of experiencing the immaturity of adolescence. Thus, they disregard the immaturity of their actions, their emotional dependence and the personal and social impediments involving the care of a baby. It is essential, the presence of supervisors to assist in the elaboration of emotional tensions created in this context, as these may result in limitations on professional performance. The shelter can be a decisive space to diagnose and support the emotional illness, to care for pregnant teenagers and to the young mothers in a special and differentiated way, through specific actions that prioritize the support of regression states, dependency and anguish from that period. Actions based on prevention, recognizing the importance of maternity care, without disregarding the personal needs of adolescents, in order to avoid unnecessary trauma over emotional maturation process of their babies are required
