Mental health education in colleges and universities has always been the focus of social attention, which is mainly undertaken by the mental health education center of colleges and universities, including the construction of mental health courses, the development of psychological activities, case consultation and group counseling. Due to the lack of full-time teachers in mental health education centers, limited mental health publicity and insufficient direct contact with students, when students encounter psychological confusion, they often digest it themselves or find good classmates to help them solve it. Those who can't be solved through these channels rarely turn to mental health education centers for help and turn to escape or repression, or even extreme solutions, leading to tragedies. Counselors have the most frequent contact with students, have close ties with class cadres, and can fully grasp the students' situation in the first time. Counselors' correct understanding and attitude towards mental health education will exert a subtle influence on students, helping them to correctly understand the importance of mental health education and the necessity of improving their psychological quality. At the same time, counselors can also predict the problems that students may encounter during their school life in combination with their own feelings and experiences, so as to prevent and intervene as early as possible. Facing the difficult problems in students' mental health, we can actively contact the school psychological institutions and provide professional help. Counselors are an indispensable part of the rapid response mechanism of psychological intervention in colleges and universities. Counselors' investment in mental health education will greatly enhance the pertinence of psychological work, form an effective working mode with up-and-down connection and rapid response, and help improve work efficiency. Secondly, it is important for counselors to improve their mental health. College counselors are the most basic team participating in students' daily education management and the most direct implementer of education management. The mental health level of counselors is directly related to the growth of students and the overall stability of colleges and universities. In the initial process of talent selection, we should pay attention to the psychological evaluation of counselors, which can not only improve counselors' understanding of their own mental health level and help them understand themselves, but also strengthen counselors' mental health awareness and improve their attention to mental health education in their work. Counselors' positive mentality, good personality characteristics and positive emotions will directly affect the relationship between teachers and students. The good psychological quality and healthy image displayed by counselors are very important to enhance their personality charm. This positive influence will be reflected in the actual daily management, which is conducive to building a bridge of emotional communication between teachers and students and building a harmonious and smooth communication platform. Third, counselors' mental health professional knowledge and skills reserve. Mental health education is a highly professional job. In order to promote the standardization of psychological counseling in colleges and universities, it is not enough to establish a team of high-quality psychological counseling teachers. Colleges and universities also need to help counselors improve their psychological professional knowledge and ability, expand the ranks of mental health education and broaden the fields of psychological intervention. Colleges and universities should also attach importance to the training of mental health education counselors. Counselors' good psychological quality and psychological knowledge reserve directly affect their smooth communication with students, which is conducive to emotional communication. Psychological counselors need to master certain psychological interview skills, such as concentration and listening skills, emotional reflection skills, empathy skills, concretization skills, questioning skills and so on. Counselors have certain psychological professional knowledge, which is not only necessary for counselors to maintain mental health, but also provides technical support and professional guarantee for counselors to actively guide students' thinking.

Colleges and universities also need to help counselors improve their psychological professional knowledge and ability. Counselors need to cultivate students' interest in psychology, participate in mental health education with high enthusiasm, and carry out effective theme class meetings or group activities suitable for students' reality. Counselors should change their ideas, actively cooperate with each other, take the class as the unit and take public opinion as the guidance, actively implement students' mental health education, help students improve their psychological quality in an all-round way, and cultivate high-quality comprehensive talents. V. The Role of Counselors in Mental Health Education At present, it is unrealistic for colleges and universities to offer compulsory mental health courses, and colleges and universities have also taken some measures, such as offering elective courses or holding mental health activity weeks. But generally speaking, the popularization of mental health education is not enough, and its influence and continuity in time and space need to be strengthened. As the main force of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, counselors accompany students through all stages of college life. Counselors are the group that has the most contact and communication with students, and they are one of the most profound and extensive educators who have influenced students. They can break through the limitations of time and space, they contact students earlier than full-time mental health teachers, and they can psychologically intervene students at the first time or at the first scene. College counselors are an important force in mental health education. They shoulder the heavy responsibility of relieving students' psychological pressure and guiding them to actively adapt to the environment. They play an important role in students' self-awareness, interpersonal relationship handling, emotional adjustment and coping with setbacks. They guide students to develop in an all-round way, establish a sound personality and cultivate good social adaptability, and their influence on the development of college students' psychological quality is irreplaceable. VI. Some Reflections At present, all colleges and universities have increased their investment in mental health education for college students, and the relevant systems and working mechanisms have become increasingly perfect, with a good overall development trend. A good system to highlight good results depends on functional departments at all levels and principal responsible persons. Work implementation is the key, supervision, sampling survey and assessment are important means to improve work efficiency, and the follow-up assessment system needs to be followed up. In the process of daily education management, counselors should pay attention to advocating a harmonious relationship atmosphere of unity and mutual assistance. Combining with practice, we should infiltrate mental health education into students' study and life. Use scientific methods to help students develop a civilized and healthy lifestyle, and guide students to develop behavior habits through behavior training and example demonstration. Through effective communication, counselors analyze and guide students to solve current problems, guide them to establish a positive and healthy outlook on life and help them grow up healthily and smoothly. In this process, counselors can also gain practical experience, improve their ability to help others, and gain a sense of pleasure and accomplishment. In this process of helping others, we should improve ourselves and realize teaching and learning in the true sense. Colleges and universities should encourage counselors' mental health education behavior and provide them with room for development. They can improve the enthusiasm and input of mental health education, strengthen theoretical study, carry out practical activities, improve their comprehensive quality, and open up diversified ways for their career development by encouraging psychological counselors to study independently, obtain psychological counselor qualification certificates, participate in the teaching of students' mental health courses, and become part-time psychological counselors.
