Mental health education can be implemented in the following ways:

Teachers and conditions of mental health education
Doing a good job in the construction of teachers and improving teachers' mental health level is an important condition to ensure the normal and healthy development of mental health education. We should actively carry out professional training for teachers engaged in mental health education. The training of mental health education teachers should be included in the local and school teacher training plans. Through training, teachers engaged in mental health education can improve their understanding of the importance of mental health education and master the knowledge and ability to carry out mental health education. Teachers who have obtained certificates through training must also be full-time psychological counseling (counseling) teachers. Professional knowledge and practical ability can not meet the requirements, shall not be arbitrarily arranged as a full-time psychological counseling teacher. Schools without qualified psychological counseling teachers will not carry out mental health education for the time being.
Schools should gradually establish a mental health education system under the leadership of the principal, with ideological and moral teachers, class teachers and team cadres (full-time Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers) as the main body, full-time and part-time psychological counseling teachers as the backbone, and all teachers participating together. Schools should put forward that every teacher should attach importance to students' mental health education, so that teachers can establish a sense of caring for students' mental health and create and construct a good mental health education environment. Every teacher in the school should be a mentor to students.
Education administrative departments and schools at all levels should actively create necessary conditions for mental health education. Middle schools with conditions in large and medium-sized cities should gradually establish and improve psychological consultation rooms (or consultation rooms), strengthen the consultation of mental health education, and strengthen the research and scientific management of mental health education. In particular, we should attach importance to the study of mental health education, and study the relationship between mental health education and moral education, and the all-round development of people and education in various disciplines.
