<![CDATA[Socio-emotional stigma among diaspora youth has become a significant issue in contemporary urban society, particularly in relation to identity formation, emotional well-being, and social adaptation. This study aims to conduct a literature review of the forms and contributing factors of socio-emotional stigma among Christian youth, to examine the role of Christian religious education in shaping emotional regulation and expression, and to explore the contribution of family support in strengthening emotional resilience and mitigating the impact of social stigma. The study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology by identifying, screening, and analyzing relevant scientific articles from reputable databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. A total of 220 articles were initially identified, 180 remained after duplicate removal, and 40 articles were ultimately selected for final analysis based on predefined inclusion criteria published between 2017 and 2025. The findings indicate that socio-emotional stigma among youth is influenced by complex urban social dynamics, including cultural diversity, social pressure, and low environmental acceptance. These conditions contribute to decreased self-confidence, emotional disturbances, and difficulties in establishing healthy social interactions. However, Christian religious education and family support play a crucial role in mitigating these challenges by fostering moral development, strengthening spiritual values, and enhancing emotional resilience. The synergy between these two factors is essential in shaping youth who are resilient, ethical, and adaptive to social dynamics.]]>
