Future talents need comprehensive abilities, not only with healthy bodies, but also with healthy minds. Therefore, timely and effective mental health education for students is an inevitable requirement of the development of modern education and an urgent task for educators. One of the factors that can't be ignored in forming a green channel of school mental health is teachers' mental health education. In modern education, to improve students' mental health, we must first improve teachers' mental quality and teachers' mental health. The mental health level of teachers will directly affect the mental health level of students. German psychologist Lei Wen put forward the famous psychological field theory. According to this theory, any group has a psychological field. Because of the psychological field, the psychology of each member is mutually influenced and restricted. This process is a process of group psychological interaction, but this interaction is often unbalanced, and there is often a force that plays a positive leading role. Obviously, teachers are educators legally recognized by schools, students and parents. This special status of teachers makes it easier for teachers to influence the educational objects with their words and deeds. The psychological influence of teachers on students' psychology is multidimensional and has great authority. In the process of education and teaching, it is impossible to develop students' mental health without paying attention to teachers' mental health first. First, analyze the reasons that affect teachers' mental health. Why are teachers prone to mental health problems? Psychologists in China have put forward the indicators of teachers' mental health: correct role cognition, that is, being able to correctly understand oneself and accept teachers' roles happily; Have a healthy educational psychological environment, that is, teachers are emotionally stable, happy, moderately responsive, self-controlled and proactive in education; The originality of education means that you can work creatively without listening to other people's advice; Highly resistant to educational anxiety, that is, able to stand the test of difficulties and setbacks; Good educational interpersonal relationship, that is, the relationship between students, parents, colleagues and leaders can be correctly handled; Can adapt to and transform the educational environment; Be good at accepting new things and ideas and constantly adapt to the educational environment of reform and development. On the other hand, it is considered to be psychologically unhealthy. So, what are the reasons that affect teachers' mental health? 1. Today's society puts forward newer and higher requirements for education. With the deepening of quality education, teachers' psychological burden is too heavy. At the same time, they are also troubled by problems such as professional titles, housing, income, children's further education and employment, and supporting the elderly, and they have been under psychological pressure for a long time. 2. Heavy work and excessive pressure. The teaching profession itself has its particularity: the diversity of educational objects requires teachers to have multi-dimensional psychological orientation; The demonstration of educational work requires teachers to strengthen the shaping of self-image; The extensiveness of educational content requires teachers to deepen and constantly improve their cognitive structure; The complexity of educational tasks requires teachers to have strong psychological adjustment and adaptability. It is precisely because it is difficult and demanding to be a qualified teacher, which invisibly increases the psychological burden and pressure of teachers, and it is bound to cause teachers' mental health problems to be more serious than the general population. Both at home and abroad. The National Education Association reported that 37. 5% teachers are often extremely worried about work efficiency. 30% have social maladjustment and emotional problems; 20% teachers need special attention from psychologists; There are still 30% people who are difficult to get along with others, which is undoubtedly related to the special profession of teachers. Especially with the development of society, people's expectations for education are getting higher and higher. The all-round promotion of quality education requires teachers to change traditional educational concepts and methods, which is in sharp contradiction with teachers' original cognitive structure, professional ability and physical and mental quality. 3. Individual teachers don't love their work enough, they are not sure about their personal values, they think they have wronged themselves, or they feel that teaching is boring, muddled and enterprising, and in the long run, they are mentally worried. Teachers are under great mental pressure from outside, but they lack the ability to bear internal pressure. In this way, the quality of education and teaching will inevitably be affected. According to our previous understanding of mental health education, teachers' mental health education has three levels of goals: one is the primary level, which is a relatively passive response and adaptation goal, that is, preventing or overcoming psychological problems and psychological obstacles, alleviating symptoms of mental illness, restoring and maintaining psychological balance, and realizing normal adaptation to teachers' work and daily social life; The second level belongs to the realistic active goal, that is, to enhance teachers' self-psychological immunity, improve their comprehensive psychological quality, cultivate healthy personality, actively adapt to social challenges and work requirements, and deal with various psychological problems; The third level belongs to the goal of the ideal level, that is, to mold teachers' ideal personality, develop teachers' psychological potential, make teachers play a higher creativity in their work and life, make greater contributions to education and society, and realize a relatively happy life. The goals of these three levels are often intertwined in the specific process of mental health education. Of course, most of the problems that teachers are more concerned about and often face are related to the goals at the first and second levels, but the goals at the third level are more fundamental and ultimate. Fundamentally speaking, strengthening teachers' mental health education is to enhance teachers' mental health level, improve their psychological quality and tap their psychological potential. On this basis, it will promote the all-round improvement and development of teachers' own quality, so that teachers can better perform their sacred duties of teaching and educating people, which is worthy of the sacred mission of human soul engineers. This also reflects the special humanistic care for teachers as a professional group, so that teachers can not only get good professional adaptation, but also maintain physical and mental health and pursue life goals. Second, the content of teachers' mental health education: people's psychological activities and their dominant behaviors have complex aspects and hierarchical structures. According to the understanding of psychologists in China, human psychology can be divided into two aspects: psychological process and personality psychology. Psychological process mainly includes cognitive activity, emotional activity and will activity. Personality psychology mainly includes personality psychological tendency with needs, motives, interests, ideals, beliefs and world outlook as the main contents and personality psychological characteristics with people's temperament, ability and personality as the main contents. The contents of the above aspects are complex and influence each other, and each has a two-level hierarchical structure differentiation. Obviously, teachers' mental health education should aim at all aspects and levels of teachers' psychological activities, the main problems of teachers' mental health and their causes, obey the objectives of the above three levels, strive to prevent and eliminate mental diseases, and improve teachers' self-psychological activities. Specifically, from the actual situation and objective requirements of teachers' mental health education, its content should mainly include three aspects: 1. Basic psychological knowledge education. Such as the disciplinary nature of psychology, the essence of human psychology, the composition of psychological phenomena and the basic laws of activities. 2. Health psychology or mental health knowledge education. For example, the significance and origin of mental health movement, the meaning and standard of mental health, and the factors affecting mental health; Basic knowledge of psychological diagnosis, psychological consultation and psychotherapy; Basic understanding of the prevention and correction of mental health problems. 3. Measures and methods to deal with the practical problems of teachers' mental health. For example, how to deal with teachers' anxiety and depression, interpersonal barriers, teachers' job burnout and stress, economic difficulties and other common physical and psychological symptoms. It is worth emphasizing that what kind of psychological quality structure, healthy personality and even ideal personality teachers should form through mental health education involves people's understanding and evaluation of healthy personality and ideal personality, including teachers themselves. Third, the ways and methods of teachers' mental health education Based on the current situation of teachers' mental health education in China and drawing lessons from the methods and experiences of predecessors in maintaining teachers' mental health, we think that the main ways and methods of teachers' mental health education at present are: 1. Establish a good social environment. The whole society should create a social atmosphere that supports teachers' professional prestige, create a harmonious, warm and enterprising working environment, and reduce teachers' excessive work and psychological load. According to the survey, the primary factor affecting teachers' mental health is the bad social environment, which has a great relationship with the satisfaction of teachers' personal needs, the stimulation of motivation and the realization of goals. Therefore, the whole society should establish a good atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching, constantly improve teachers' social status, respect teachers' labor, understand their difficulties, talk less, do more practical things, and effectively solve all kinds of puzzles in their work and life, especially reduce their excessive work and psychological load. Teachers' hearts also need social care and comfort. Government departments can start teachers' mental health projects and incorporate mental health education into teachers' continuing education projects. 2. Normal schools attach importance to teachers' mental health education. The school environment is the most frequent, important and direct place for teachers to work and live. Teachers' educational activities are mainly carried out in schools. Poor school environment is the most likely cause of teachers' behavior frustration. School administrators should establish a people-oriented concept in school management and realize that caring for teachers is an important prerequisite for implementing China's educational policy. As a school leader, we should deeply understand the actual needs of teachers, adopt different incentive methods according to their different needs, improve teachers' psychological satisfaction, and keep teachers in a good attitude all the time; School leaders should constantly improve teachers' psychological endurance, keep teachers in psychological balance, including improving teachers' consciousness, help teachers establish appropriate personal goals, and guide correct attribution when teachers succeed or fail; School leaders should also strive to optimize campus interpersonal relationships and create a harmonious working environment. When making measures to maintain teachers' mental health, schools should attach great importance to strengthening teachers' mental health education and consultation, and schools with conditions should establish teachers' mental health consultation rooms, which mainly include: organizing teachers to study and discuss mental health knowledge regularly; Invite experts or teachers majoring in psychology in our school to teach; Provide psychological counseling and counseling for teachers; Invest the necessary funds to buy relevant books, audio-visual materials, etc. for teachers. 3. Give full play to the strength of psychological professionals and strengthen the publicity and education of teachers' mental health through professional works, newspapers and magazines and other mass media. At present, papers, books and reports on mental health problems appear more and more in various information media, and there are also some contents on teachers' mental health problems. However, the content is mixed, and some may be misleading. The audience groups of relevant information are mostly concentrated in large and medium-sized cities, which is not commensurate with the teachers' urgent demand for relevant knowledge. Therefore, this work needs to be further strengthened, especially the relevant parties should pay attention to the modernization of telephone hotlines, televisions and networks. 4. Advocate teachers to carry out self-mental health education. Modern pedagogy believes that in the process of individual socialization, the elements of receiving education from others are decreasing, while the elements of self-education are increasing. As far as mental health education is concerned, not only college and middle school students should attach importance to self-mental health education, but also teachers as educators need to strengthen self-education of mental health. According to the previous understanding of self-mental health education, the main ways and methods for teachers to carry out self-mental health education are: strengthening their own learning; Actively participate in practical exercise; Conduct extensive social contacts; Draw lessons from traditional methods of self-education and psychological training; Learn to use the methods and skills revealed by modern psychology to improve mental health and prevent mental illness; Try to ask for help; Cultivate a wide range of interests and so on. Teachers should attach importance to their own psychological health care, establish a correct outlook on life and values, be loyal to the cause of education, love students, live positively and optimistically, maintain a good attitude, and at the same time correctly understand themselves and form a sound personality; Teachers should learn to use their brains scientifically to improve the efficiency of psychological activities; At the same time, teachers should strive to establish good interpersonal relationships, understand leadership work, communicate with colleagues frequently, respect parents and students, be good at accepting themselves and others, and promote mental health development in a harmonious environment; It is particularly worth mentioning that teachers should actively participate in colorful cultural and social activities, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, develop healthy living habits, constantly expand their own life circle, cultivate various hobbies, and have good interpersonal relationships, which is not only the need of educational work, but also the need of people's psychological development. Harmonious interpersonal relationships make people feel comfortable, refreshed and happy at work, and form a positive, optimistic and cheerful personality. Bad interpersonal relationships make people feel depressed and depressed, hinder personal mental health, and form a cold and withdrawn negative character for a long time. Teachers should also care and love their families, play with them, share family responsibilities and build a happy family. Be optimistic, learn to adjust your emotions, get sick, and have the belief to overcome the disease; When frustrated, calm and self-control, maintain a balanced mentality; Being misunderstood, we should be open-minded, restrained and tolerant. Teachers shoulder the heavy responsibility of teaching and educating people. In order to cultivate qualified successors with sound mental health and personality, teachers must first have a healthy mind, and their mental health defense work can not be ignored. Teachers are the main body of school education and teaching work, and school education and teaching work depends on teachers. School administrators should take all measures to protect teachers' physical and mental health.
