CPC BMU Committee attaches great importance to student mental health education and consistently places it in a position of utmost importance. In recent years, the university has actively explored new methods in psychological education, focusing on decentralizing the forces and resources of mental health education. It has fully utilized the roles of Level-2 Counseling Centers in secondary schools, as well as the mental health education networks at the class and dormitory levels. The establishment of Level-2 Counseling Centers is a landmark achievement in the university's exploration of new models in mental health education. It helps mobilize and enhance the initiative of the secondary schools in conducting mental health education for college students. It expands educational channels, extends the reach of the work, broadens the scope and depth of mental health education, and improves the effectiveness of psychological nurturing.
