Abstract

Since the mid-1980s, colleges and universities in China began to establish psychological counseling centers. Based on the experience of the United States and other developed countries, psychological counseling centers have developed rapidly, attracting a large number of college students to take the initiative to examine and strengthen their mental health literacy. The specialization and standardization of psychological counseling in colleges and universities have been significantly improved, and the demand of students continues to grow. The current professional human resources in colleges and universities are difficult to meet students' expectations for services, leading to students' doubts about the ability of psychological intervention. The situation of domestic localization lies in the close connection between psychological counseling and student-industry system. This feature can be fully used to create an atmosphere of psychological education, strengthen the psychological education function of colleges and universities, and provide students with reliable services. The psychology major and mental health education level of University B are both in the forefront of Chinese universities. Besides, psychological counseling and related organizations in University B are abundant and have their own particularities. Therefore, taking University B as an example, based on the interview of teachers in three psychological counseling organizations of different levels and nature. This study explored a more suitable path for the cooperation between psychological counseling and student affairs management with construction of psychological education system, student affairs teachers' psychological training, development of students' psychological organization power.
