The aim of this research is to examine the expeirence of institutional treatment of youth with behavioral problems from the perspective of girls and boys through their relationship with caregivers, relationship other peers and the benefit of the treatment. The reasearch was conducted in Zagreb, on a sample of six youth, three boys and three girls. Youth perceive their relationship with caregivers as relationship of mutual respect, fair, supportive, opened and causal. They also believe that it is a relationship in which there i san active formal support of caregivers, but also a relationship of power/authoritarian style of caregivers. As for relationship with other peers, youth address difficulties in establishing and maintaining relationships, violent verbal communication, but on the other hand, socializing and spending free time together. Boys perceive the relationship with other peers as unsupported, while girls perceive it as supportive. Institutional treatment and its benefit are reflected in the experience of youth that treatment prepares them for the future, sees it as a healthy environment in which they find themselves, provides an opportunity to learn and see the change achieved in themselves. On the other hand, they have poor leisure time, with no activities. The received results largely coincide with the findings of previous research on this topic, mostly those on the relationship with caregivers. The findings can primarily benefit professionals working with youth in institutional treatment, especially when it comes to poor leisure time with the absence of activities, which youth emphasized during interviews.
