What is the importance of mental health to college students?

In recent years, mental health courses have been put forward in many primary and secondary schools, but how to set up professional mental health counseling courses? How to design courses for different grades? How to ensure the course effect? How to prepare lesson plans, props, etc. Offering mental health courses has become a new problem faced by schools.

I believe that most psychological teachers must have experienced the pain of not preparing lessons in psychological class. Psychology course is different from other courses, and it must be a gradual process. It is necessary to proceed from the reality of different regions and combine the characteristics of students' physical and mental development at different ages to set up specific educational content step by step. This is one of the breakthrough points of a good mental health class.

Mental health class is a process of self-exploration, self-understanding and self-renewal for every student. It needs to let go of personal defense consciousness, explore and share with other members, communicate sincerely, and speak their minds in an atmosphere of mutual respect, acceptance and trust.

For example, we are full of illusions according to the positive interests of primary school students. Primary school mental health class focuses on cultivating students' interest and learning ability, correcting learning motivation, adjusting learning mentality, treating grades correctly and experiencing the fun of learning success.

Junior high school students are in adolescence. According to the characteristics of students' enhanced self-consciousness and weakened collective consciousness, junior middle school mental health class focuses on helping students strengthen self-consciousness, objectively evaluate themselves and understand the physiological and psychological characteristics of adolescence.

According to the situation that high school students' intelligence development is remarkable, emotional intelligence training is insufficient, and they are facing the college entrance examination, the mental health class of high school students focuses on cultivating innovative spirit and ability, mastering learning strategies, developing learning potential, improving learning efficiency, actively coping with test pressure and overcoming test anxiety.

A good mental health class should set up the activity form according to the specific content and purpose of the activity and the age characteristics of the students. Students are naturally active, rich in perceptual thinking and lacking in rational thinking. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that psychological activities are diversified, relaxed and lively, and equipped with corresponding props to mobilize the atmosphere of activities and improve students' enthusiasm for participation.
