Coastal states in the East face annual flooding, particularly during the monsoon season, presenting considerable challenges despite residents' efforts to prepare. In 2022, Terengganu experienced devastating floods that severely impacted several districts, leading to significant loss of life and property. Victims endured not only material losses but also deep trauma and emotional distress (Harian, 2022). A critical concern arising from this disaster is the struggle for acceptance, with many victims attributing their hardships to fate or external circumstances. Such tendencies may impede their ability to cope, ultimately disrupting personal and familial harmony. This research adopts a qualitative methodology, utilizing documentary analysis and interviews to identify an effective psychospiritual approach tailored for flood victims. Data will be analyzed through content analysis with ATLAS.ti version 7.5.6 software. The findings indicate that psychospiritual therapy can empower individuals by emphasizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. This approach is consistent with the holistic goals set forth by the National Philosophy of Education in 1987, which aims to support the well-being of both individuals and communities.
