1. Increase publicity. While setting up a psychological counseling room, schools should publicize and guide mental health education, reverse the deviation of students' understanding, and let students realize that psychological counseling is not "seeing a doctor"; As long as you have psychological and emotional problems, you can try psychological counseling, just like going to the teacher's office to ask questions. This is normal. In addition, psychological counseling teachers should not wait for students to have serious psychological problems before "forcing" them to come for counseling, but should actively "sell" their own educational ideas and methods to attract students to come for counseling. Such as: carrying out psychological counseling activities on campus network; Post on the online forum and invite students to talk about their own growth experiences and experiences; Regularly organize various forms of psychological counseling lectures and "psychological teahouse" activities, so that psychological counseling is truly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Schools can also let excellent students come to the psychological counseling room to try to "eat crabs", listen to their voices and eliminate their confusion. Then, let them go to the class group to publicize the feelings and "curative effect" of psychological counseling, so that other students can feel the importance of psychological counseling from their personal experiences and feel that it is a pleasant thing to communicate with psychological counseling teachers. Slowly, students' shyness can be eliminated, so as to get out of the misunderstanding and make the psychological consultation room no longer "mysterious" and "distant" and truly become a "spiritual garden" for releasing pressure.
2. Improve facilities and equipment. Standardized consultation room is the basis for the smooth development of psychological consultation. However, the counseling rooms in many schools are often simple and monotonous, and the rules and regulations of psychological counseling principles are stuck on the walls, which are too adult and serious, making students feel a lack of intimacy. Many schools' psychological consultation rooms lack scientific planning consciousness when they are designed, and they were originally designed only to cope with the inspection by superiors. In fact, the design and planning of psychological counseling room must fully consider the characteristics and needs of students, and should make visiting students feel at ease, relaxed and comfortable in it, and ensure the privacy of the whole environment; According to different consulting means, corresponding consulting tools need to be configured. In addition to the guarantee of material conditions, it also needs the harmony of the whole psychological counseling atmosphere. Psychological counseling teachers need to have good professional quality, answer students' questions with cordial attitude and simple language, and do a good job of psychological counseling for students from the perspective of sincerely caring for their healthy growth.
In order to prevent students from being disturbed by the outside world, to keep private conversations between teachers and students confidential, and to avoid students' insecurity, the location of psychological consultation room should be chosen in a quiet and elegant place. In practice, psychological files should be established for each student, including the results of intelligence test, personality test and mental health test, personal brief history statement, relevant materials of major life events, consultation records, etc. These materials play an important role in solving students' psychological problems in time and effectively.
3. Improve the level of teachers. The school psychological counseling room was "vigorous" when it opened, but "poorly managed" in the later period. One of the important reasons is the lack of competent and excellent psychological counseling teachers. Many teachers adopt the way of "comfort and persuasion by neighbors and aunts" or "empty preaching by cold-faced judges" in their work, which can not effectively approach students and effectively solve their psychological problems, but instead make students feel distrust.
Psychological counseling teachers must have high moral cultivation and strong prestige and influence among students, otherwise they can't communicate with students who come to consult. Teachers who are old-fashioned and mean and often lecture others are not suitable for psychological counseling. Therefore, the school must strictly control the selection and determination of psychological counseling teachers, and never send those "idle people" who are not qualified for basic teaching and class teacher work, and are not proficient in pedagogy and psychology to take up this job. In order to improve the level of teachers and make them better carry out psychological counseling, schools should be willing to invest and make great efforts to carry out professional training for teachers, so that they can obtain relevant professional qualification certificates and practice qualification certificates and hold posts with certificates.
4. Innovative consultation methods. The way of school psychological counseling can be group counseling or individual counseling. Group consultation is to collectively answer students' questions of universal significance through lectures, symposiums, radio and blackboard newspapers. Its advantages are wide coverage and high efficiency. However, more individualized psychological counseling methods should be adopted to enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of psychological counseling.
Considering that some students are introverted and unwilling to show their faces, the school may wish to turn psychological counseling from "open" to "underground". With the help of modern communication means, school psychological consultation can be changed from a serious face-to-face consultation activity to a hotline consultation or online chat. In a relaxed and unrestrained atmosphere, the students released their nervous mood and gained spiritual comfort. Schools should announce the number of "hotline" or online chat software (such as QQ) to students for consultation at home; Students can be allowed to hide their names and classes. When encountering problems, they can consult at any time, speak freely and express their ideas boldly, so that teachers can prescribe the right medicine and really achieve psychological counseling. It should be pointed out that the school's psychological counseling is only aimed at students' minor psychological problems and psychological obstacles. If students do suffer from serious mental illness, teachers should advise them to seek help from experienced psychiatrists.
