(2) the principle of wholeness
The principle of wholeness means that mental health education should be oriented to all students in the whole school, taking into account the common needs and problems of the vast majority of students. Therefore, mental health education can be carried out in a collective way. Of course, facing the whole does not mean that we must ignore the individual. In practical work, we should also consider the specific treatment of specific problems to maximize the benefits of mental health education.
(3) the principle of difference
The principle of difference means that school mental health education should pay attention to and attach importance to students' individual differences, and carry out various and targeted mental health education activities according to different needs of different students to improve students' mental health level. People are different and young students are no exception. They have their own personality characteristics, different social backgrounds, family environments, life experiences and values. School mental health education is not to eliminate these characteristics and differences, on the contrary, it is to show the differences and uniqueness of students most appropriately and perfectly, which is the essence of school mental health education.
(D) the principle of subjectivity
The principle of subjectivity means that school mental health education should be student-oriented and all work should be student-oriented. At the same time, students' dominant position should be truly reflected, fully respected and fully brought into play. Secondly, mental health education is an activity to help others and help themselves. "Helping others" is a means to help students "help themselves". To achieve the goal of self-help, only by letting students directly participate in this activity as the main body can this goal be achieved. In addition, adolescence is a period of rapid development of students' self-awareness and independence. Carrying out the principle of subjectivity not only gives full play to students' subjective role, but also meets students' needs of pursuing independence.
(5) the principle of wholeness
Educators should use the viewpoint of system theory to guide mental health education, pay attention to the organic connection and integrity of psychological activities, conduct a comprehensive investigation and systematic analysis of students' psychological problems, and prevent and overcome the one-sidedness in educational work. School mental health education pursues the all-round development of students' personality, and finally achieves the goal of improving students' psychological quality and comprehensive quality. From the perspective of social value orientation, pay attention to the all-round development of students' morality, intelligence, physique and beauty; Starting from the needs of students' self-improvement, we should pay attention to the coordinated development of students' knowledge, feelings, intentions and actions. From a systematic point of view, the object of school mental health education is a complete living person, and human psychology is also an organic whole. Based on the integrity and unity of individual psychology, the restriction and coordination between individual physical and mental factors and external environment, this paper comprehensively grasps and analyzes the causes of students' psychological problems and the countermeasures of education and guidance.
(6) The principle of confidentiality
The principle of confidentiality means that in the process of mental health education in schools, educators have the responsibility to keep students' personal situation and conversation confidential, and students' reputation and privacy rights should be protected by morality and law. The principle of confidentiality is an extremely important principle in school mental health education. It is the psychological basis to encourage students to speak freely and build mutual trust, and it is also the greatest respect for students' personality and privacy. In the process of mental health education, especially in the process of individual education and consultation, students will reveal many personal secrets, privacy and defects to educators, as well as the psychological and behavioral puzzles, contradictions and conflicts arising therefrom. Educators have the responsibility and obligation to keep all this information confidential.
