"At present, the situation of mental health education in primary and secondary schools on the mainland is still not optimistic, with a high incidence of depression, inferiority, school aversion, and rebellion among primary and secondary school students, and suicide, self-harm and other behaviors are frequently reported." Cui Jianmei, a deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that the national level should organize the preparation of unified mental health education textbooks as soon as possible. She believes that the set of textbooks should be unified in sequence, starting from the middle and upper grades of primary school until graduation from high school. The content may include mental health courses, mental health special education, psychological counseling, etc., so that front-line mental health teachers have a basis, a basis, and an operability in their teaching work, and truly implement mental health education.
