Mental health education refers to adopting various methods and measures according to the laws of psychological activities to maintain individual mental health and cultivate their good psychological quality. Mental health education is one of the goals of implementing quality education, and it is the starting point and destination of quality education. Carrying out psychological education to make students develop physically and mentally in an all-round way is related to the sustainable development of students and the health of the Chinese nation. Therefore, developing students' mental health education plays a very important role in promoting students' mental health development.
For a long time, most people pay more attention to physical health than mental health, but in fact, only those who are physically (physically) mentally (psychologically) healthy are truly healthy. Health refers not only to physiology, but also to psychology. In recent years, due to various changes brought by social development, school education and children's development in China have been impacted and challenged.
Students' mental health problems are mainly manifested in various explicit and implicit psychological and behavioral problems, such as weariness, truancy, stealing, lying, cheating, selfishness, willfulness, poor frustration tolerance, aggression, retreat, anxiety and depression. These psychological and behavioral problems not only seriously affect the healthy development of students, but also directly affect the completion of school education tasks and the realization of educational goals.
