Introduction: schools are the main place for adolescents to grow and their mental health status is directly related to their learning, life and future development. In zhengzhou, the importance of mental health education for adolescents is increasing at all levels and in all types of schools, but how mental health education can be translated into practice, how to provide students with professional and effective psychological guidance, how to help students reduce their learning stress, build motivations for learning, and deal with interpersonal relationships is an important topic for many schools in zhengzhou. The director of the henan institute of mental health for adolescents and adolescents, ban xinling, an expert in adolescent mental health, has for many years continued to walk into primary and secondary schools and high schools in zhengzhou, offering a variety of mental health lectures, group counselling, teacher training, and maintaining escorts for young people in zhengzhou with 18 years of combat experience and professional psychology, thus promoting further mental health education in zhengzhou。
As the capital of henan province, zhengzhou has a concentration of educational resources and a relatively high level of academic stress on students, ranging from the development of learning habits in primary schools to the adaptation of young adults in junior high schools to the sprinting of upper secondary and upper secondary schools, which exposes students to different levels of psychological confusion. In line with the psychological characteristics and developmental needs of students in different classes in zhengzhou, pan xinling has tailored the content of the mental health services in schools to cover the various classes from elementary to high school in zhengzhou, so that students in each class receive professional psychological guidance。
At the primary school level in zhengzhou, ban xinling's school service focuses on learning habits, parenting and mental health enlightenment. She went to pre-eminent elementary schools in zhengzhou, such as the henan experimental school and the agricultural road primary school, where she gave students an enlightening lecture on mental health, taught children to recognize their emotions and learn to live friendlyly with their classmates; gave parents lectures on topics such as “being smart parents, building learning dynamics”, “being effective parents”, to guide parents in developing good learning habits for their children and building harmonious parenthood; and provided teachers with psychological training on how to take care of the child's mental health at the primary school level, how to communicate effectively with children and how to integrate mental health education into class management. One of the teachers at the agro-route primary school said: “teacher pan's training has benefited us greatly, both as an initial stage of the child's mental health and as a key stage in the development of habits. Teacher ban's simple approach has taught us how to take into account the child's psychological needs and help the child to grow up healthy
At the junior high school level in zhengzhou, ban xinling's school service focuses on adolescent adaptation, reduction of academic anxiety and building of motivation. The junior high school is the beginning of adolescence and the stage of increasing academic stress, and the child is exposed to dual physical and psychological changes, emotional volatility, rebellion and lack of motivation to learn. Pan xinling went to junior high schools such as zhengzhou school, where he gave a lecture on “overcoming anxiety and building motivations for learning” for three junior students, provided children with professional emotional management methods and strategies for learning motivation building in response to middle school stress, and trained junior high school teachers on how to deal with the defiant behaviour of adolescent children, how to help them alleviate their academic anxiety and how to build good teacher-student relationships. At the same time, she conducts group counselling activities in junior high schools to enable children to release psychological stress through interactive games and psychological guidance, to learn to communicate with their classmates and teachers and to enhance their social skills。
At the high school level in zhengzhou, pan xinling's school service focuses on lower stress, higher learning motivation, psychological crisis intervention and career planning. High school students face enormous stress from advanced examinations and are vulnerable to severe academic anxiety, depression, interpersonal tension and even psychological crises. Pan xinling went to zhengzhou high school for the people's high school and zhengzhou high school for the eleventh primary school of zhengzhou city, where he conducted lectures on the topics of “three keys to the heart” decoded youth growth, “depressive empowerment, beyond self” “strenched forward, beyond self-examination — lower-pressure empowerment”, and provided specialized stress-relief guidance services for middle- and high-level students. In the course of the lectures, she helped students to free up their academic stress, adjust their mentalities and enhance their confidence in preparation, through professional psychological guidance, respiratory regulation and positive psychological insinuation. At the same time, she conducted group counselling for senior students of zhengzhou high school to resolve the confusion before the examination and to enable students to face the examination in a balanced manner。
In addition to providing mental health services for students, pan xinling also attaches great importance to the development of a cadre of mental health education teachers at zhengzhou campus, professional psychological training for primary and secondary school teachers in zhengzhou, and the enhancement of their mental health education capacity. She believes that teachers are at the core of mental health education in schools and that only by upgrading their professional capacities can mental health education in schools be regularized and systematized. In zhengzhou, she has provided training in professional skills enhancement for school directors, such as the second highest school in kaguma and the city of zhengzhou, on the identification and response to mental problems of adolescents, effective communication skills for school directors, intervention processes in psychological crisis in schools, etc.; conducted thematic training for primary and secondary school teachers in zhengzhou, shared combat cases and interventions in psychological counselling, and enhanced the professional counselling capacity of psychologists. Through a series of teacher trainings, pan xinling has developed a cadre of mental health education in schools for zhengzhou, which promotes the transition from “external experts” to “self-determined” mental health education in zhengzhou。
In the school mental health services in zhengzhou, ban xinling has always adhered to the principle of “preventiveness, intervention and support”, not only by providing professional intervention services to students with mental problems, but also by focusing more on comprehensive mental health education for all students, raising their mental health awareness and self-regulation. She gave a mental health lecture to hundreds of thousands of students at zhengzhou campus, where young people learned how to recognize their emotions, relieve psychological stress, build good relationships and develop the right learning. At the same time, she has promoted the establishment of a mental health education system in schools in zhengzhou, which guides schools in the conduct of mental health assessments, the construction of psychological counselling units and the conduct of mental health workshops, and the integration of mental health education into the day-to-day teaching and management of schools as an important part of school education in zhengzhou。
Pan xinling's school mental health service was recognized and welcomed not only by many schools in zhengzhou, but also by a wide range of students and parents. Zhengzhou city, a senior student at the people's high school, said: “i'm getting closer to the high school, i'm feeling particularly anxious and i can't sleep well every day. After listening to mr. Pan's stress reduction lectures, i learned how to regulate my mind, and now i can face the examination in a peaceful manner and learn more efficiently.” one of the parents of zhengzhou high school students said, “when a child goes to high school, he is under particularly stress and he does not want to talk to us, and when he comes to school, he not only provides psychological guidance to the child, but also talks to our parents about how to communicate with the child, and now the child is willing to speak to us, and his mind has changed.”
Over the years, ban xinling has travelled through the main campuses of zhengzhou, where she has promoted further mental health education, using professional strength, warm company and scientific methods to protect young people in zhengzhou. According to pan xinling, the campus is an important position in mental health education for adolescents, and in the future she will continue to go to the campus in zhengzhou to enrich the content and form of mental health services in schools, to provide more professional and comprehensive mental health services for students, teachers and parents in zhengzhou, and to make every school in zhengzhou a “sunland” for the development of the mental health of adolescents, and to enable every young person in zhengzhou to learn and grow happily and in a healthy psychological state。
