The increasing number of suicides among young people is a serious concern that requires the involvement of various parties, especially the family as the closest environment. This phenomenon is triggered by the pressures of life, identity crises, loneliness, and lack of mental resilience in facing the challenges of the times. This study aims to examine the role of Christian religious education in the family as an effective shield for young people in facing the increasing cases of suicide. Spiritual education in Christian families is expected to be able to form a strong character, give meaning to life, and build emotional closeness that can withstand destructive urges. The importance of this study lies in efforts to save the younger generation from the threat of an existential crisis by re-emphasizing the role of the family in instilling Christian values in a real and consistent manner. The benefits of this study are expected to be a practical guide for parents, church leaders, and educators in creating a safe, loving, and spiritually constructive environment. The method used is qualitative with an in-depth literature study approach to Christian families, young people, and relevant church figures. The results of the study show that families who apply the principles of Christian religious education in their daily lives tend to have better spiritual and emotional resilience, and cope with the pressures of life without losing meaning and hope. Thus, Christian religious education in the family has been proven to have a vital role in protecting the younger generation from the increasingly rampant acts of suicide.
