Abstract

Maintaining the mental health of middle school students is a systematic project that requires joint efforts and continuous attention from many aspects. In recent years, China has targeted the mental health issues of middle school students by formulating and implementing a series of programs on mental health education for middle school students, significantly improving the status of mental health education in the school education system. However, the causes of mental health problems among middle school students are complex and diverse, involving multiple levels such as family, school, and society. In addition, the mental health status of middle school students is a real-time changing process, and it is difficult for people to accurately grasp the psychology of students. Based on synergy theory and social support,this article proposes to build a comprehensive public support system for middle school students’ mental health. This system will integrate the resources of country, schools, families, society and other parties to form a joint force to jointly protect the mental health of middle school students. By strengthening communication and collaboration among various stakeholders, it will meet the psychological needs of middle school students and provide timely and Effective psychological support helps them overcome psychological distress and achieve healthy growth.
