This study examines a holistic intervention that integrates social media awareness and spiritual well-being to support young adults facing life crises. The research aims to understand how digital engagement and spiritual values interact to influence identity development and psychological resilience. A quantitative approach was employed involving 31 participants, primarily female students (64.5%), who reported high social media usage, mainly for entertainment (41.9%) and maintaining social connections (38.7%). Descriptive and reliability analyses revealed strong internal consistency across key constructs, including Performance Expectancy (? = .730), Social Influence (? = .706), and Preservation of Religion (? = .932), while Hedonic Motivation showed moderate reliability (? = .607). Respondents strongly agreed on the positive impact of technology use (M = 3.43), social influence (M = 3.35), enjoyment (M = 4.00), and spiritual values such as religion (M = 4.16) and life preservation (M = 3.80). These findings highlight that social media, when approached with awareness and ethical guidance, can foster emotional balance and identity formation. The study concludes that integrating spiritual dimensions into digital literacy programs can enhance young adults’ mental health and coping capacities, promoting a more balanced and meaningful engagement with technology.
