First, the main ways and methods to carry out mental health work
1. Popularize mental health knowledge and guide students to strengthen self-regulation.
Mental health is an elective moral education course for students in secondary vocational schools. Huaibei Industrial School gives full play to the main position and channel of classroom teaching, adheres to the educational concept of psychological harmony, and carries out in-depth and lasting education on basic knowledge, methods and consciousness of mental health for students. Guide students to strengthen self-regulation, so as to learn to accept themselves, learn to appreciate themselves, dare to accept the challenges of life, cultivate students' psychological quality of self-confidence, self-discipline, dedication and happiness, and strive to improve students' mental health level and professional psychological quality. In order to integrate mental health education into students' daily life and study, Huaibei Industrial School designated September 20th as "Mental Health Day" for all students. Every year from June 5438 to February, a series of activities such as "Mental Health and Success" essay contest and "Mental Health Handwritten Newspaper Design Competition" are held. These measures have enhanced students' understanding of mental health and formed a good atmosphere for everyone to pay attention to and attach importance to mental health.
2. Improve the mental health care network and strengthen psychological counseling services.
As early as 1998, Huaibei Industrial School set up a psychological counseling center-"Meixin Workshop", and established a team of mental health educators, mainly psychological counseling teachers and mental health care workers, supplemented by volunteers, initially forming a system to safeguard students' mental health and health care. The school regularly trains mental health workers and volunteers for mental health education, and sets up a psychological consultation mailbox for "intimate sisters" to strengthen contact with parents of students. Every September, the school holds a special lecture on freshmen's psychological adjustment, conducts a "mental health questionnaire" survey on freshmen, and establishes students' psychological files. In order to implement mental health education, psychological crisis prevention and intervention, the school hired 1 mental health workers in each class, trained them in mental health knowledge, psychological abnormality identification, crisis intervention procedures and skills, defined their work tasks and established a perfect monitoring system. A three-level early warning mechanism of "class-grade-school" was initially established, which laid the foundation for students' psychological crisis intervention. In order to expand the scope of students' mental health education and give full play to the important role of counselors in students' mental health education, students' ideological and political work is combined with mental health education, and counselors are trained in mental health knowledge 1 ~ 2 times a year, and psychological case exchange meetings are held regularly, so that they can master the basic methods and skills to deal with psychological crisis events.
3. Pay attention to the construction of campus culture and promote the healthy development of students' psychology.
Creating a civilized and healthy campus cultural atmosphere is one of the important contents of cultivating middle school students' healthy psychology. Huaibei Industrial School has always attached importance to humanistic quality education and cultivated students' humanistic spirit. Because only humanistic spirit can meet the psychological needs of human survival, respect and self-realization to the maximum extent. To this end, the school holds art festivals, sports festivals and vocational skills competitions every year, so that students can experience success and enjoy happiness in participation and practice.
Second, the main experience of mental health education
1. Repeated and long-term mental health work
According to the psychological questionnaire survey of more than 800 students in grade 2008 in Huaibei Industrial School, about 20% of the freshmen have psychological problems in different degrees, about 10% of the students have serious psychological obstacles, and some students even have suicidal thoughts. It takes a lot of time and energy to do a good job of psychological counseling for these students. This requires us to do a good job in the following aspects: first, do a good job in mental health education and implement the four aspects of "teachers, teaching materials, class hours and funds". Secondly, we should pay special attention to the infiltration of various disciplines. Teachers are encouraged to cultivate students' curiosity, self-confidence, achievement motivation, self-control, cooperative spirit, frustration tolerance and other psychological qualities according to the characteristics of various disciplines, and strive to create a classroom atmosphere of "respect, trust, understanding, care and happiness" to achieve the effect of "moistening things silently". Third, we must constantly innovate the carrier. According to the psychological characteristics and needs of students of different ages, design some activity carriers with strong pertinence, great attraction, wide participation and high interaction. Practice has proved that by establishing students' psychological files, offering special courses, holding psychological consultations, building training platforms and implementing home-school interaction, students' psychological problems such as weariness, psychological frustration, interpersonal communication and employment anxiety can be effectively solved, and students can be guided and helped to learn the cognitive psychological process, adjust their psychological state, relieve their psychological pressure and solve their psychological problems in activities.
2. Sensitivity and initiative of mental health work
In our daily work, we ask mental health workers and counselors to take the initiative to do a good job in persuasion and education for freshmen, graduates, poor students, lovelorn students, students who violate discipline and students with abnormal words and deeds, to help them resolve their psychological pressure, overcome difficulties and avoid sudden vicious incidents caused by psychological problems. For example, the counselor learned that a computer major student in Grade 06 was addicted to online games, and his interest in learning was not high and his mood was low, so he took the initiative to invite the student to the office to understand the situation. Through psychological counseling, after understanding the reasons, on the one hand, counselors actively guide the students to correctly handle the relationship between professional learning and online games, and help them establish correct professional ideas. On the other hand, he developed a game software "Panda for hegemony" by virtue of his own strengths, and achieved success.
3. Diversity and complexity of mental health work
There are many sources of pressure on students. We should always pay attention to all kinds of psychological puzzles encountered in students' lives, realize the diversity and complexity of students' mental health education, and adopt flexible and diverse ways to help students develop healthily and comprehensively. For example, in 2008, the economic crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States swept the world, which brought some negative effects on students' employment, resulting in some students lacking goals, low enthusiasm for learning, emotional instability and psychological confusion. In response to this phenomenon, the Youth League Committee, Student Affairs Office and Employment Office of Huaibei Industrial School went deep into the class to analyze the situation for students, help them find their direction and goals, and invited experts to give lectures on career planning for students. Through these activities, help students correctly analyze the situation, set life goals according to their own conditions, and enrich themselves.
4. The pertinence and effectiveness of mental health education
In order to continuously enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of mental health education, Huaibei Industrial School actively integrates mental health education resources. For example, the courses of mental health education and career planning are organically combined, and targeted guidance, inspiration, education and publicity are carried out through questionnaires, psychological assistance, individual counseling, special lectures and campus hotlines. With the help of students' discussion, a case about career planning is preset and initially formed. Help students know themselves realistically, including personality tendency, temperament type, thinking characteristics, interests, specialties, values and so on. , so as to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and find a professional and career direction that suits you. Secondly, guide some students to make an objective analysis of their academic failure in compulsory education, and gradually eliminate their inferiority complex, which may simply be attributed to IQ problems. Then, describe the feasibility of future professionals, so as to guide students to reposition their careers.
