Mental health education essentially includes developmental education and remedial education. Developmental education is mainly to cultivate and promote students' psychological quality and mental health purposefully and in a planned way, so that students' psychological quality can be continuously optimized. Remedial education is mainly to help students with poor mental state or psychological problems to restore them to normal state. These two kinds of education are also at different levels. Developmental education is mainly aimed at students who are developing normally and improving. Remedial education is mainly aimed at students with different degrees of psychological problems and is corrective.
Based on the above analysis and understanding of mental health education, we should do a good job in mental health education. First of all, we should create a good psychological development environment for students. Create a healthy educational environment, prevent students from falling into crisis frequently, and maintain students' psychological peace, positivity and smoothness. This is very important to realize the basic goal of mental health education. For example, seriously carry out quality education; Teachers and parents should adopt appropriate educational methods to establish a harmonious teacher-student relationship and parent-child relationship.
Second, adhere to the strategy of giving priority to development and giving priority to prevention. Mental health education in schools focuses on developing students' good psychological quality, maintaining and promoting students' mental health, rather than correcting and treating students with psychological problems. Focus on group development education and individual development education, actively carry out group remedial education and individual remedial education, and combine them organically on the basis of prioritizing. Carry out mental health education in a planned, purposeful and step-by-step way, so that students can constantly improve their psychological quality in the development of education and resist the influence of bad psychology; Make students put down their burdens in the supplementary education, get out of psychological misunderstanding as soon as possible, and develop a healthy and upward psychology.
At the same time, in order to better achieve the goal of mental health education, it is necessary to fully penetrate mental health education into all aspects of school work and form multi-channel implementation. Psychological quality education, psychological consultation and psychotherapy are special channels. However, it is not enough to be confined to special channels. Mental health education should permeate all the teaching, and teachers can permeate the corresponding mental health education content according to the characteristics of the teaching content and learning activities of this subject. At the same time, mental health education should also permeate all kinds of school activities, such as the work of class teachers and group activities. In this way, many non-specialized channels can be formed to promote the development of mental health education in schools.
