Views and suggestions on mental health education in schools

First of all, it is suggested that relevant departments clarify the qualifications of mental health educators and set up corresponding psychological teachers according to the actual situation of each school. One of the reasons for the lack of psychological teachers is the limitation of establishment. It is suggested that the relevant departments should set up psychological teachers' posts, attract more outstanding talents and improve the enthusiasm of psychological teachers. At the same time, the school should formulate scientific recruitment standards for psychological teachers to attract more professional teachers and professional psychologists to join the team. It is necessary to ensure that the psychological teachers recruited are related to pedagogy and psychology, and have the national psychological counselor certification and teacher qualification certificate.

Secondly, teachers' continuing education should be strengthened and systematic professional training should be given to in-service psychological teachers. Compared with teachers in other disciplines, psychological teachers need systematic and professional counseling skills training and supervision besides basic teaching skills and student management skills. In this regard, relevant departments and schools can make long-term training plans according to the actual situation of various regions and schools and the actual needs of psychological teachers.

Besides, teacher action research has become a popular research method in the field of education. Psychological teachers, as front-line workers, have detailed first-hand information. Schools should encourage and support teachers' scientific research, with "subject research" as the carrier, research to promote training and research to promote teaching.
