Conduct lectures and consultations suitable for college students' psychological needs. According to the internal needs of college students and the characteristics of different grades, we should set up corresponding lectures, elective courses, forums, hotlines, individual consultations and group consultations on mental health education, widely and deeply popularize mental health knowledge, publicize the support methods of psychological counseling, and carry out various forms of psychological counseling services, so that college students can get effective counseling and treatment in time when psychological problems arise.

Create a psychological support network system in which students actively participate. In all classes and students in colleges and universities, efforts should be made to cultivate psychological commissioners and psychological enthusiasts, stimulate students' inner motivation and interest, and gradually form a spontaneous, self-help and open psychological support network. For example, psychological commissioners form growth groups in classes, hold group growth activities once a week, support each other, accompany and share solutions to growing psychological problems, and receive group leadership and guidance from professional psychological counselors in colleges and universities on a regular basis.
