Life in residential child and youth welfare facilities is a great challenge for the concerned children. This paper explains factors that contribute to an increase or decrease in the subjectively perceived well-being of children and adolescents in residential institutions. Qualitative content analysis was chosen to analyze the data collected in Luxembourg. The study shows that children's well-being is particularly influenced by structural conditions and concepts, by fellow residents, and by (pedagogical) professionals. Another result points to the presence of different forms of violence and to the danger of (re-) traumatization of the children and young people within the institutions of inpatient child and youth welfare in Luxembourg.
