Exploration and Practice of the “Five-Hearts with Companionship, Six-Party Collaboration” Psychological Education Model

Integrating mental health education with the Five Domains of Holistic Education (moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education) is a critical demand and developmental trend in student psychological mental health in the new era. The current study, grounded in a student-centered philosophy, constructs the “Five-Hearts with Companionship, Six-Party Collaboration” psychological education model to address college students’ developmental characteristics and psychological cultivation needs. The “Five-Hearts with Companionship” framework employs five implementation pathways: Heart Expansion (moral education), Heart Curriculum (intellectual education), Heart Movement (physical education), Heart Sharing (aesthetic education), and Heart Garden (labor education). These pathways aim to deeply integrate mental health education with holistic education and enhance students’ mental health literacy. The “Six-Party Collaboration” mechanism emphasizes synergistic efforts among schools, families, society, hospitals, enterprises, and peer support networks to comprehensively strengthen mental health education. Through years of exploration and practice, this model, guided by the preventive principle of “treating pre-disease,” has demonstrated significant effectiveness in preventing mental health issues and fostering students’ psychological resilience.
