Abstract

Against the backdrop of accelerating social transformation and rising competitive pressures, mental health issues among adolescents and college students have become increasingly prominent. The traditional mental health education model, which focuses on problem correction, has gradually exposed bottlenecks of insufficient effectiveness. As a new psychological paradigm emerging at the end of the 20th century, positive psychology shifts its research focus to individuals' positive psychological qualities, intrinsic potential, and subjective well-being, providing important theoretical support and path guidance for the conceptual renewal and practical transformation of mental health education. By systematically reviewing relevant theoretical and practical studies, this paper explores the application value, existing achievements, and challenges of positive psychology in mental health education, aiming to provide references for in-depth research and educational practice in this field.
