What is mental health?

People live in the world of groups and learn and grow in groups, so educating or helping others in groups is the most natural, authentic and effective way.

Group psychological counseling is a kind of psychological counseling that helps individuals develop their psychological potential or solve psychological obstacles in group situations. It is usually attended by two leaders or more group members in several or more group meetings or activities. Some scholars believe that group psychological counseling is a process of adjusting and improving the relationship with others through observation, study, experience, understanding, discussion and acceptance, and learning attitudes and behaviors through interpersonal communication within the group to help individuals get good development.

I think the individual's potential is infinite, and the collective strength is infinite. Every time Qi Xin and Qi Xin work together, the distance between us is getting closer and closer, the individual strength is so small, and the team strength is so strong. Only when each individual in the team unites and helps each other can we achieve the collective goal. Imagine if each of us can be as harmonious and responsible as you in the collective activities at work. So, what difficulties can I overcome?

Personal recklessness may bring losses to the performance of the whole group, so always remember that I am a member of the team and any action I take will bring positive or negative effects to the group.

Indeed, health is not only the absence of physical diseases, but also the absence of psychological obstacles. Only physical and mental health, physical fitness, is a complete health. The proportion of left-behind children is large, their ideology is in the transition period, their psychological state is unstable, their physical maturity and psychological maturity are out of sync, they are highly dependent on society and family, and they are more anxious, frustrated and prone to psychological obstacles than adults.

In group counseling, teachers and students have equal status. Teachers should allow and encourage students to express different opinions, attach importance to students' opinions, empathize with them, respect them, don't condescend to scold them, satirize and mock them, and don't expose their "shortcomings". They should care about and accept students unconditionally, so that students can feel the understanding, respect and acceptance of their teachers, so as to put aside psychological precautions and treat their inner world.

At present, mental health education in schools increasingly emphasizes the whole process and the whole staff. Nowadays, for various reasons, there are few full-time psychological teachers in most schools. These teachers should not only give individual counseling, but also hold activities related to psychological education, so it is very difficult to complete multi-faceted group counseling activities. Because psychological counseling teachers usually have little contact with students and don't know enough about them, it is difficult to solve students' problems pertinently, and it is also difficult to reach a psychological level with students, and the counseling effect is often poor. Therefore, the head teacher should see his advantages in psychological consultation, eliminate his fear of difficulties, conduct psychological education for students through activity classes, and get along with students day and night. In group counseling activities, he can take care of every student, meet the needs of different students and promote the development of all students.

Although modern people pay more and more attention to the quality of life, and the concept of overall health has become more and more popular, there are still many people who do not pay enough attention to mental health.

There is even a phenomenon of avoiding illness and avoiding medical treatment. The head teacher should establish a complete concept of mental health and consciously and systematically carry out mental health education for students.

Of course, psychological counseling activities are different from general theme activities. It requires teachers to use psychological theories and methods to effectively improve students' mental health, and it is difficult for class teachers to undertake group psychological counseling. This requires conscious study of psychology, professional knowledge of psychological counseling, more reference to psychological counseling activities designed by psychologists, good preparation and design before class, flexible handling of students' performance in class, and selection of certain psychological problems for group counseling.

Group activities can provide many opportunities for group members to develop and grow, especially when there are many differences in age, hobbies, life background, society, economy, status and psychological characteristics. A group is like a small society, and the conflicts between individuals in the group are similar to the experiences in real life. At the same time, the diversity of group members will bring very rich information feedback among group members. Individuals can fully reflect on themselves, know themselves and understand themselves through these various eyes.

Teachers' own mental health will directly affect the people around them, especially when dealing with students' problems, they can't correctly understand students' behavior, let alone deal with students' problems strategically, which will affect the relationship between teachers and students and hurt students' hearts, so teachers must be mentally healthy.

Teachers should not only have profound knowledge and superb teaching skills, but also have a sound personality and noble moral quality. Teachers should improve their psychological quality, understand the professional knowledge of mental health education and the general psychological characteristics of students, so as to create a harmonious and warm atmosphere in the classroom and make students feel relaxed and happy, otherwise they will feel uneasy.

Although teachers have studied some educational psychology, they are unable to cope with the endless stream of student problems. Only by constantly learning mental health knowledge and mental health knowledge, mastering psychological adjustment methods, learning to relieve psychological pressure, improving psychological endurance, adjusting emotions, maintaining psychological balance, being good at choosing one's own happy perspective to think and deal with problems, establishing good interpersonal relationships, cultivating various hobbies and cultivating sentiment, can we actively and healthily devote ourselves to teaching activities.

The mental health of students is directly related to their study, life, growth and success. As teachers, we have the responsibility to maintain students' mental health. Of course, short study time and superficial knowledge are not enough to improve their educational ability in an all-round way.
