Exploring Innovative Approaches to Mental Health Education for Primary School Students in the New Era

Against the backdrop of rapid social changes and the information age, the mental health challenges encountered by primary school students have become increasingly complex. The new era has accentuated the importance of mental health education, particularly for this demographic, making the innovation of mental health education pathways to enhance psychological quality a core focus of educational research. This paper explores innovative pathways for the mental health education of primary school students, primarily covering situational interactive experiences, interdisciplinary integration, personalized counseling and intelligent intervention, collaborative participation of families and society, and the integration of cultural confidence with psychological education. Through specific case analyses, this paper emphasizes the effectiveness of situational interaction and interdisciplinary integration in improving students' emotional regulation and social adaptation skills; the potential of personalized counseling and intelligent intervention for precise psychological support and intervention; the crucial role of family and societal collaboration in providing comprehensive mental health support for students; and the positive impact of integrating cultural confidence on shaping students' psychological quality and enhancing social adaptability. Research indicates that these innovative pathways can more effectively address the psychological issues of primary school students, promote their holistic development in emotional, behavioral, and cognitive aspects, and provide solid psychological support for the healthy growth of primary school students in the new era.
