Mental health education for junior high school students Part I: The present situation and improvement strategies of mental health education for junior high school students.
For every family, children's education is a core event. Junior high school students are in adolescence, and their self-reliance ability is constantly enhanced. They can also learn to face some problems independently, and their curiosity and knowledge-seeking psychology are gradually enhanced. However, while their psychology is not yet mature, their self-regulation ability also needs to be mentioned, and their self-esteem is also rapidly strengthening. If they encounter some difficult problems, they will press hard, try to be brave or keep it in their hearts, which will definitely do great harm to their health for a long time. In this way, mental health education came to school. The purpose of school construction is to teach and educate people and cultivate more outstanding talents for the society. Therefore, the cultivation of outstanding talents should start with students' psychological quality education, so that they can quickly adapt to today's complex and changeable social situation.
1 Mental health status of junior middle school students at present
1. 1 Problems in learning
There are many differences in teaching methods between primary school and junior high school education, and the difficulty of schoolwork increases year by year with the level of grades. When students enter middle school, the difficulty of knowledge is obviously beyond what they have learned. Some students are not very adaptable, and junior high school students lack the initiative to learn. In this case, they will lose their interest and enthusiasm, which will lead to some tired reactions, leading to a gradual decline in academic performance and an increase in mental stress, resulting in. As we all know, interest is the best teacher However, many junior high schools still only pay attention to students' academic performance and enrollment rate. The school only teaches students the knowledge of coping with exams. The school only performs the function of a manager, putting pressure on students without thinking and worrying, and not considering that students always give themselves psychological hints in order to complete heavy schoolwork, hoping to live up to the expectations of schools, teachers and parents, which leads to increasing psychological pressure on students. Once they fail to accomplish their expected tasks, they may have negative psychology.
1.2 problems in interpersonal communication
The formation of outstanding talents can not be separated from the influence of the surrounding environment. In junior high school, the main interpersonal relationship is not complicated, but the relationship between students and their families, teachers and classmates. If students can't handle these relationships well, it will directly affect their mental health. On the one hand, students hope to get the care and understanding of teachers and parents, and their attitudes have a great influence on students. For example, in math class, the teacher asked Xiaolin to solve equations on the blackboard. Kobayashi was originally a neurotic person. After being called, he was even more flustered and lost his mind for a while. If the teacher says: Why don't you go home and don't waste your time here? Students will have a negative emotion and frustration, which will make the relationship between teachers and students tense, but if the teacher changes to:? Take it easy, okay? Then there is an encouragement for students, which will promote Kobayashi to solve the problem quickly. On the other hand, the companionship of classmates is very important, but once it is not handled well, it will make them lonely, lonely and depressed.
1.3 The school does not attach importance to psychology courses and lacks regular psychology teachers.
The school only pays attention to the teaching of professional subjects and does not carry out mental health education courses. It cannot systematically and comprehensively analyze and deal with students' psychological problems, nor can it provide professional counseling. Influenced by the traditional teaching methods, Chinese teachers often train in various professional disciplines, without paying attention to the training of psychology teachers.
2 junior high school students' mental health coping strategies
2. 1 Establish mental health consultation institutions. It is urgent to establish mental health consultation institutions. Schools can regularly carry out psychological counseling activities for students, pay attention to students' needs, understand students' problems in all aspects, and propose reasonable solutions for students. Organize colorful mental health activities and carry out targeted special psychological counseling courses. At the same time, schools should understand students' interests, put interests in the first place, and let students study for their interests, which can not only reduce students' psychological pressure, but also improve learning efficiency.
2.2 Guide students to establish a good communication relationship. At the age of junior high school, their personality is the most prominent, and their self-control ability is not very strong. How to guide them to deal with their parents, teachers and classmates becomes very important. By guiding them to treat the evaluation and expectation of parents and teachers with a correct attitude, they can handle the relationship with the opposite sex and gradually form a stable psychological state. Students who are psychologically stable will naturally focus on their studies and promote the improvement of their academic performance.
2.3 training full-time and part-time psychological education teachers, students have psychological problems, which have a lot to do with teachers, which is inseparable from teachers' knowledge and skills in mental health education, so teachers are also very important. First of all, teachers should cultivate their own psychological counseling consciousness. Teachers should sincerely care for students from the perspective of students, understand their mentality in time, and appropriately enhance the feelings between teachers and students. Schools can send teachers to special psychological education institutions in a planned way. Teachers will carefully absorb students' needs and provide targeted guidance to students after returning to school.
3 Conclusion
In short, schools should attach importance to junior high school students' mental health education, implement a student-oriented education model, start with small things in daily life, and let mental health education permeate students' daily learning activities so that they will not have psychological burden and concentrate on their studies.

Mental health education for junior high school students Part III: How to do mental health education for junior high school students well.
1 The key to mental health education lies in teachers.
Teachers are hard-working gardeners, watering the flowers of the motherland and shouldering the heavy responsibility of cultivating successors of the motherland. Teachers should not only impart knowledge to students, but also cultivate students to establish a correct outlook on life, career and values to avoid abnormal development of students. Teachers' mental health will not only affect their teaching behavior, but also affect students' mental health. Teachers' mental health has a very important influence on students, and we need to pay enough attention to it, especially the mental health of rural teachers. As the organizer and guide of classroom teaching, teachers should create a good environment for students' psychological growth, which requires teachers to have good self-regulation ability, to use psychological knowledge to adjust their mentality, to keep themselves in an optimistic, peaceful and upward healthy psychological state, and to provide a good psychological environment for students' all-round physical and mental development. On the one hand, teachers are the guides of classroom teaching and the objects that students respect, and students have strong imitation ability. Teachers can turn their mental health influence into an educational resource, let students feel the charm of teachers' personality, and then edify and infect students. This can not only arouse students' learning enthusiasm and initiative, improve the efficiency of classroom teaching, but also be of great benefit to the healthy development of students' body and mind. On the other hand, teachers can start from students' psychology, design psychological contradictions and conflicts that students may encounter, and help students solve problems with scientific methods. These two methods create a good psychological environment for the healthy growth of students. Therefore, teachers struggling in the front line of education must keep learning, broaden their knowledge, deeply understand students' psychology, master the knowledge of psychological consultation and counseling, and enthusiastically help students solve problems. At the same time, in practical teaching, teachers should attach importance to psychological education and promote the all-round development of students. Teachers should master the relevant knowledge of psychological counseling, unite the forces of family and society, and provide all-round services for students' mental health education. In addition, teachers should also change the traditional teaching concept, and can't take grades as the only criterion for evaluating students. Quality education is no longer a slogan, and students should be evaluated in a diversified way. In practice teaching, teachers should use more positive language to motivate students and create a relaxed and happy learning environment for students. Teachers are no longer condescending, but communicate with students on an equal footing like friends, get a deeper understanding of students' psychological state and deepen the friendship between teachers and students.
2 play the role of government departments
Governments at all levels should attach importance to education, especially psychological education, assist teachers in their work, create a good working environment for teachers, help teachers solve problems in time, safeguard teachers' emotions, and enable teachers to enter classroom teaching with positive emotions. First of all, the school should be equipped with professional psychological education teachers, or send teachers to participate in psychological education professional training regularly, improve the teaching staff, set up psychological health education courses, and provide professional services for students. Secondly, the education administrative department should increase the content of teacher training, not only to improve teachers' teaching and scientific research ability, but also to improve teachers' education and scientific research ability, to infiltrate mental health education into all aspects of teaching, to improve the quality and level of mental health education, to achieve the coordinated development of students' body and mind, to promote students' all-round development, and to train qualified socialist successors and builders. Finally, the education department should attach importance to teachers' own mental health education, organize regular training activities and popularize relevant mental health knowledge. For example, the establishment of psychological counseling service institutions can help teachers solve psychological problems in time, improve their psychological quality, enhance their self-adjustment ability, and always maintain a positive and optimistic mood to ensure the orderly conduct of classroom teaching in the future.
3. The school shoulders the heavy responsibility of mental health education.
Schools should incorporate mental health education into the whole education system, create a good educational environment for students, and help teachers to learn and improve their educational ability by participating in and practicing mental health education. First, junior high school students' mental health education. Set up relevant courses to help students understand this knowledge and master self-regulation skills. The course is mainly divided into two parts, one is the theoretical part of mental health and health; The second is the actual training operation. The first part of the course can be realized by radio, television and other media. What deserves our attention is that the teaching content should meet students' psychological needs and cognitive ability, broaden students' horizons, and let students fully accept the knowledge of mental health education. The second half of the course is the most effective training method, which mainly includes: role-playing, interpersonal communication, mutual questioning and so on. Cultivate students to master certain psychological adjustment means, so that students can solve their psychological problems in time, organize the occurrence of adverse consequences, and nip in the bud. Secondly, set up a hotline mailbox. By talking to students in this way, students can avoid shelving problems because of shyness or face problems, which will lead to mental illness. At the same time, in the process of students' telling, teachers should listen carefully to students' distress, solve students' mental health problems in a targeted manner, and promote students' all-round physical and mental development. Finally, design a psychological counseling classroom. With the development of society and the deepening of curriculum reform, the importance of students' mental health has become more and more prominent, and psychological counseling for students has become increasingly urgent. Therefore, it is imperative to establish a psychological counseling room. Nowadays, students have realized the importance of mental health education, and they have changed from restraint and shyness to generous psychological counseling. From previous suspicion to complete trust. Psychological counseling service is not only the demand of students, but also the demand of this era. Mental health education is a very complicated process. As the organizer and guide of classroom teaching activities, teachers must actively participate in curriculum teaching activities, open students' hearts, understand students' thoughts, solve students' psychological problems in time, and realize the coordinated development of students' body and mind.
