<![CDATA[Adolescent delinquency in Indonesia increasingly appears in concrete forms such as inter-student violence, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and peer-group conflicts, reflecting identity confusion, emotional instability, and weakened social attachment. In Pekalongan, these conditions are intensified by digital overexposure, academic competition, economic uncertainty, and tensions between traditional values and modern youth culture. This study aims to explore tahlilan as a reflective–cultural strategy to support adolescent psychosocial well-being. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with adolescents, cultural figures, and community members, supported by literature and document analysis. Data were analyzed thematically through an iterative process of open coding, categorization, and theme construction to interpret patterns of emotional regulation, identity negotiation, and religious coping. Data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that tahlilan can be optimized through four interrelated components: guided self-reflection, prayer and gratitude journaling, safe community spaces, and digital engagement via the hashtag #TahlilanUntukJiwa. These components function as mechanisms for emotional containment, identity consolidation, psychological resilience, and religious character formation through collective spiritual experiences. The study concludes that revitalizing culturally embedded spiritual practices, when integrated with reflective and digital strategies, can serve as a preventive and promotive approach to adolescent mental health challenges.]]>
