On the Integration of Educational Resources of Mental Health Education in Higher Institutions - Under the Context of Chinese Culture

Mental health education in higher institutions was introduced to Mainland China in the mid-1980s. Due to the particularity of China's national conditions, its development also has its unique characteristics. At the beginning, the work was mainly confined to a few students with psychological problems, and the work area was mainly limited to school counseling. As mental health education continues to evolve, their work areas and receivers continue to expand, and mental health education in higher institutions has gradually transferred from the single form of psychological counseling to a combination of various forms of student activities. The new challenge mental health education faces is the need of enough teachers to guarantee the regular work and promote it to develop in depth. Currently, the number of professional teachers in higher institutions is far less than the number that state regulations require, and the number is woefully unable to meet students' needs, which greatly restricts college mental health education programs. To promote the development of mental health education, we need to integrate the following aspects: professional mental health education teachers, counselors, class masters and classroom teachers, integration of students' team and peripheral personnel, and resources.
