What is the current situation of mental health education in foreign schools?

The mental health education in foreign schools has made remarkable progress in the past decades, and has received extensive attention and support. The following are the details of mental health education in foreign schools:

1, education policy and support.

Many governments have realized the importance of mental health education and formulated relevant policies to support and promote the implementation of mental health education in schools. The government invests resources in training teachers, providing teaching materials and facilities, and formulating guidelines to ensure the quality of education.

2. Integrate into the curriculum system.

Mental health education is included in the school curriculum system and study plan, as an independent field or combined with other disciplines. This encourages schools to integrate mental health education into each student's learning experience. Educational institutions and experts have formulated specific curriculum frameworks and teaching materials to ensure that students acquire mental health knowledge and skills suitable for their age and development stage.

3. Provide professional support.

The school employs mental health professionals, such as counselors, psychologists and social workers, to provide students with personal consultation and support. These professionals can identify and deal with students' mental health problems and provide necessary intervention and guidance. The school has also established an open school environment to encourage students to seek support and talk, so as to reduce psychological pressure and improve mental health.

4. Cultivate mental health teachers.

Schools and educational institutions provide professional training and sustainable development opportunities to improve teachers' knowledge and skills in the field of mental health education. These trainings can include cognitive behavioral techniques, mental health knowledge and consulting skills, so that teachers can better understand and support students' mental health needs.

5. Advocate the cooperation between schools and communities.

Schools cooperate with communities, establish partnerships with mental health institutions and organizations, and provide mental health services and resources for students. Schools hold mental health activities, seminars and symposiums to encourage parents to participate and provide them with resources and guidance to support students' mental health at home.
