Significance of mental health education in schools

Mental health means that all aspects and activities of psychology are in a good or normal state. The ideal state of mental health is to maintain a state of complete personality, normal intelligence, correct cognition, appropriate mood, reasonable will, positive attitude, appropriate behavior and good adaptation. The following is the significance of mental health education in schools, which I compiled for reference only. Let's have a look.

Students' mental health education refers to an educational activity in which educators educate and train young students' mental health knowledge and skills according to the characteristics of their physical and mental development, and use the theories and techniques of psychology and other disciplines to cultivate students' good psychological quality, promote their all-round and harmonious development and improve their comprehensive quality. Mental health education is an important part of school quality education, which is of great significance to the healthy growth and development of young students, ideological and moral education and the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.

Carrying out mental health education is conducive to promoting students' all-round development. At present, the training goal of school education in our country is to train talents at all levels to meet the needs of social, economic and cultural construction based on Marxist thought of all-round development of human beings. However, for a long time, the one-sided pursuit of entrance examination education has deviated from this concept and damaged the all-round development of students. To this end, the Party and the state have made a major decision to deepen education reform and comprehensively promote quality education, transforming one-sided exam-oriented education into comprehensive quality education, which is completely consistent with the fundamental purpose of education to improve people's quality. Although there are many references about the basic connotation of quality education, it has become a consensus that healthy psychological quality is an important part of it. The reason is very simple, because people are the unity of body and mind, and all-round development should include all-round and healthy development of body and mind. In addition, students' mental health education is closely related to moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education. It is not only an indispensable part, but also the integration and optimization of all-round development education in some aspects, which has great mutual promotion and restriction. With the reform and opening up in China, we can gradually understand the society, reality and ourselves, ease interpersonal conflicts, strengthen interpersonal relationships and enhance social stability. Thirdly, mental health education helps to shape young students' good personality, promote their character development, improve their moral level and purify social atmosphere. In addition, mental health education helps to mobilize the initiative, enthusiasm and creativity of young students, handle practical work with a scientific attitude, and promote social, economic and cultural development and progress.

First, the significance of mental health education:

The most neglected thing in traditional education is mental health education. One-sided exam-oriented education makes teenagers play a one-sided role and mistakenly think they are just a student; Coupled with the deviation of family education, teenagers are often self-centered, which affects the development of students' all-round quality. In fact, the overall improvement of scientific and cultural quality, ideological and moral quality, physiological and psychological quality and labor skill quality depends on whether people's psychological potential can be fully exerted. Because all human activities are completed under the control of psychology, and psychological quality is the core and motivation of human quality. Therefore, mental health education is related to the improvement of students' comprehensive quality and the prosperity of our country in the 2 1 century. Therefore, modern education calls for good psychological education.

Mental health education is mainly to promote students' mental health, eliminate psychological barriers and promote their normal life. By influencing students in a planned way, we can improve their knowledge structure, intellectual factors and cognitive styles, cultivate their non-intellectual factors such as perseverance, interests and habits, and standardize their self-awareness of all behaviors and thoughts. So as to give full play to students' psychological potential and promote the overall improvement of students' psychological quality.

Second, the main contents and methods of mental health education in primary and secondary schools:

Mental health education includes study psychology education, emotion education, will education, personality education, interpersonal relationship education, mental health education and career education. The main points are as follows:

1, emotional psychological education:

It is necessary to create a good emotional environment, give students a good emotional experience and form a good emotional experience. Teach students to constantly adjust their emotions and control bad emotions. Cultivate students' good personality and make them have sound personality and lofty aspirations.

2, learning psychological education:

It is necessary to help students correctly understand their learning potential and eliminate psychological obstacles in learning. Help students understand how to use their brains scientifically, pay attention to the protection of brain cells and the peak period of brain activity, and pay attention to the coordinated development of the left and right hemispheres. Students should correctly understand the function of anxiety and adjust their anxiety level appropriately. In life and study, don't suppress your emotions and emotions, but vent appropriately and learn how to eliminate excessive anxiety. Help students master the rules of memory, and transform short-term memory into long-term memory stored in networked systems through repetition. Cultivate students' self-monitoring ability in learning, master good learning strategies, pay attention to the participation of cognition, emotion and will, organically combine internal thinking activities with external operational activities, organically combine initiative, independence, exploration and creativity, and learn to learn to learn.

3, sexual psychological education, also known as adolescent education:

Sex is not only a personal and natural phenomenon, but also a social phenomenon. We should treat the sexual consciousness of children and adolescents correctly, and don't exaggerate students' sexual psychology and sexual consciousness. Instead, we should bring sex education into the track of psychological education, understand sex education from the height of psychological education, and treat sex education from the height of improving psychological quality. The principle of sex education is: teach in case of trouble. It is to seize every suitable opportunity to educate students about sex, but at the same time, it is necessary to dilute the traces of sex education. Sparse is the main, plugging is the auxiliary, and sparse plugging is combined. Encourage students to participate in more collective activities between boys and girls, and dilute the boundaries between boys and girls.

4. Psychological education of self-awareness:

Psychological education of self-awareness includes self-awareness, self-experience and self-control. The value orientation of self-education under the background of western culture is individual standard, respect for individuality, self-development and self-struggle. The value orientation of self-education under the background of oriental culture is group standard, respect for authority and self-discipline.

In short, efforts should be made to create a good campus cultural atmosphere, permeate mental health education into all educational and teaching activities in schools, organically combine with other education, offer adolescent health classes and mental health counseling classes, conduct psychological counseling, do a good job in psychological training, pay attention to prevention and development, and promote students' healthy and all-round development.
