for children with psychological problems who have been screened out, professional psychological teachers provide group counseling classes and individual counseling. for more serious students, parents will be advised to transfer to a professional psychological institution for treatment in a timely manner.
in terms of using teachers as the carrier, the school focuses on improving teachers’ mental health and professional guidance capabilities through a series of activities. every semester, the school will carry out teachers’ psychological team building and psychological adjustment experience activities such as meditation, group sandbox, etc., and through monthly mental health surveys, we will understand the psychological status of teachers, help relieve teachers’ own psychological pressure, and create a comfortable environment for them. work environment. teachers of various subjects will also be trained on mental health education knowledge, and guidance will be provided in terms of content, methods, precautions, etc.
in terms of parents as the foundation, the school mainly helps parents establish a scientific outlook on education and learn some practical methods of psychological counseling by strengthening home-school communication.
for example, we use home-school “contact cards” to strengthen communication between teachers and parents and provide timely feedback on students’ performance. through parent-teacher meetings, home visits and other means, we will popularize mental health knowledge and provide relevant guidance to parents, and guide parents to scientifically and rationally provide psychological counseling to students.
by creating an environment and organizing various parent-child interactive activities such as reading together and doing housework together, we strive to make teachers, parents and students form an interactive and organic whole, and jointly create conditions for the improvement of students' mental health and the optimization of their growth environment.
since the school’s special mental education activity was implemented in 2020, it has been imitated by other schools due to its good results, forming a good demonstration and promotion effect.
