Abstract

This article aims to explore the problems and optimization strategies in primary school students’ mental health education. After analyzing the current status of mental health education for primary school students, the article will employ a literature review method to analyze the issues related to the weak teacher workforce, insufficient school emphasis, and family factors. By strengthening professional training to enhance the professional competence of educators, actively transforming teaching philosophies to prioritize mental health education, and promoting home-school cooperation to integrate mental health education into various subjects, these optimization strategies can effectively improve the current status of mental health education for primary school students. The research findings indicate that the current mental health education for primary school students faces problems such as a weak teacher workforce, insufficient school emphasis, and family factors. However, through the implementation of optimization strategies, the professional level of educators can be enhanced, and home-school cooperation can be promoted, thereby effectively improving the mental health education for primary school students. The study suggests that the aforementioned optimization strategies provide some guiding recommendations for mental health education for primary school students and have a certain impact on promoting their mental well-being.
