The course of mental health education is not only the teaching of psychological knowledge, but also the cultivation of individual psychological quality. It centers on students' personal direct experience, and under the pressure of students' lack of learning knowledge, it provides students with a relaxed buffer zone, where students can re-examine themselves and know themselves, lay a foundation for better self-development, and make unclear psychological education in school education clear. Its key points mainly include: the establishment of good self-awareness, the establishment of rational values, the reasonable adjustment of emotions, the establishment of good interpersonal relationships, and the cultivation and guidance of frustration tolerance.
The main task of mental health education course is to help students solve various psychological problems encountered in their growth and cultivate good psychological quality. Therefore, it must take individual experience as the carrier, so that students can experience their feelings through their own experience, thus promoting psychological reflection and construction. Only with the help of students' own experience, feelings and sentiments, and paying attention to the influence of students' internal psychological process, can students internalize the external psychological knowledge they have learned into their own good psychological quality. Only with the help of experience can we encourage students to explore actively, feel and think constantly, and give full play to their initiative and creativity. Experience and activity are inseparable, because the process of experience is actually the process of practice. Therefore, the experience of implementing teaching means in the process of mental health education actually mainly refers to the experience in activities. Only with the help of activities can students have a profound emotional and emotional experience in the collision of emotional communication and thinking, and can students be prompted to experience and think deeply from the depths of their hearts, thus promoting the formation of students' good psychological quality. In the concrete implementation of mental health education courses, teachers should be good at creating activity situations and take experiential learning as the teaching mode, so as to urge teachers and students to have a profound emotional experience or awaken students' inner experience in the activities of mutual influence and exchange, stimulate students' strong thirst for knowledge and positive learning enthusiasm, and urge students to achieve the purpose of mental health development and improve their psychological quality through profound feelings.
Relatively speaking, activities are the main form of mental health education courses, and various activities are generally carried out in groups in teaching, mainly including games, scenario creation, role-playing and discussion. The activities in the course of mental health education are designed according to the age and psychological characteristics of students, including the theme, form and method of the activities and the design scheme, which can control the process of the activities and evaluate the results of the activities.
As a course formally included in the school teaching plan, mental health education should not only be implemented in classroom teaching time, but also extend the time and space of its activities to extracurricular and extracurricular activities. The activities of mental health education curriculum not only refer to classroom teaching activities, but also include extracurricular activities and off-campus social practice activities, which are the combination of on-campus and off-campus courses.
Comprehensive courses. To some extent, the teaching method of mental health education is different from the external form of other courses confined to the classroom, which breaks through the limitation of time and space, organically combines school education, family education and social education, and forms a complete mental health education network. Therefore, in the specific implementation of mental health education courses, we should try to combine various forms inside and outside the school to further stimulate students' enthusiasm and initiative.
