The subject of this study is the socio‑managerial technologies for the information protection of family consciousness among student youth, examined in the context of contemporary challenges of strategic uncertainty. The analysis focuses on the mechanisms, methods, and tools that ensure the formation, maintenance, and strengthening of positive value orientations toward the family among students as a distinct socio‑demographic group. The research covers the legal, sociological, and managerial aspects of developing and applying such technologies, as well as their role in counteracting destructive informational influences capable of undermining the stability of the family institution. Particular attention is paid to identifying factors that affect young people’s susceptibility to informational messages and to determining the conditions under which information protection becomes an effective instrument of state, educational, and cultural policy aimed at strengthening family values.

The study employs systemic and interdisciplinary approaches, including the analysis of regulatory documents, sociological surveys, expert interviews, and comparative analysis, which made it possible to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of information protection technologies for the family consciousness of student youth.

The scientific novelty of the research lies in clarifying and expanding theoretical concepts of socio‑managerial technologies for the information protection of family consciousness among student youth under modern informational challenges. The work systematizes existing approaches to understanding the mechanisms of forming and maintaining stable value orientations toward the family and identifies key factors influencing the effectiveness of their application in educational and socio‑cultural environments. The findings confirm that targeted informational work with student youth can reduce the impact of destructive media influences and strengthen positive attitudes toward the family. The conclusions of the study can be used in the practice of educational institutions, government bodies, and public organizations to develop and improve programs aimed at preserving and promoting family values among young people.
