1. In order to guide college and middle school students to pay attention to their mental health, in 2000, the "5.25 National College and Middle School Students' Mental Health Festival" was held in Beijing Normal University. The Health Festival adopts the homonym of "5.25", which means to care about their psychological growth and health. The theme of the activity is interpersonal communication and mutual assistance among college and middle school students, and the slogan is "I love me-get out of the island of mind".
2. Since then (in 2004), the Ministry of Education, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Office of the All-China Federation of Students have issued an initiative to designate May 25th of each year as the National College Students' Mental Health Day. "5.25" is the homonym of "I love me", and the promoter's explanation is that only by loving oneself can we love others better. The first standard of mental health is to know yourself, accept yourself, experience the value of your existence, be optimistic and confident, and make people get along with others with respect, trust, friendship and tolerance, share, accept, give love and friendship, and work together with others.
3. "5.25" is chosen to make college students easy to remember and pay attention to their mental health. Subsequently, "5.25-College Students' Mental Health Day" was recognized in colleges and universities all over the country, and colleges and universities all over the country used this day to carry out various forms of mental health education activities, and even thought it was "College Students' Mental Health Day".
The above is about the origin of "525 Mental Health Festival".
