10, 2023 is World Mental Health Day. This year's theme aims to appeal to the whole society to pay attention to children's mental health and promote children's healthy physical and mental growth. Teenagers' mental health problems occur frequently, which attracts more and more attention from the society. The primary and secondary school period is a critical period for the rapid development of human behavior, personality and intelligence.

Eliminate the obstacles of cognition, emotion and will of primary and secondary school students, exercise the quality of will, optimize knowledge, emotion, will and behavior, and form a good character and healthy psychology.
