在狄邦华曜，学者如果有什么不开心的事情，他们可以向他们的导师和心理老师寻求帮助。在心理咨询室，有专业的心理咨询师提供心理咨询、情绪宣泄、沙盘游戏等服务，帮助学者更全面地认识自己，改变自己，克服成长过程中的心理障碍。

小学阶段的学者，对事物都充满着好奇，有着强烈的探奇心理，因而在遇到问题的时候，会积累一些情绪问题，帮助学者认识自己的情感需求，并关注他人的情感需要，以及提高情感表达和反馈的能力；另外，低年龄的学者刚进入新的校园环境会被交友问题困扰，及时的疏导有助于学者更好地与他人合作，并在团队中发挥出自己的优势长处。

中学阶段的学者，青春期是成长过程中的一个危险期，重塑期，同时也是一个成长的很好契机。在这一时期，充斥着变化和冲突，很多学者常常出现困惑和烦恼，自己走不出来，父母又走不进去，难以帮助到孩子。校园的心理咨询室就成为了这个战场的第一道防线，帮助学者舒缓压力，帮助家长缓解焦虑。

At HC, scholars are encouraged to seek help from their mentors and psychological teachers if they are feeling unhappy or facing any difficulties. The school's psychological counseling room provides professional services such as psychological counseling, emotional release, and sandplay therapy to help scholars gain a more comprehensive understanding of themselves, make positive changes, and overcome psychological obstacles that may arise during their growth journey.

For the elementary school scholars, they are often full of curiosity and a strong desire to explore the world. When they encounter challenges, they may accumulate some emotional issues. It is important to help these scholars understand their emotional needs, pay attention to the emotional needs of others, and improve their emotional expression and feedback skills.Additionally, young scholars who have just entered a new school environment may face friendship issues. Timely guidance can assist scholars in building better relationships with others, cooperating effectively in teams, and leveraging their strengths and talents within the group.

For the secondary school scholars, adolescence is a period of risk, reshaping, and also a great opportunity for growth. This phase is characterized by significant changes and conflicts, leading many scholars to experience confusion and distress. They may find it difficult to navigate these challenges on their own, and parents may struggle to understand and help their children effectively. In such situations, the school's psychological counseling room becomes the first line of defense, helping scholars gain a more comprehensive understanding of themselves and alleviating parental anxiety.

在校园欺凌防范的主题中，通过不同年级分层级教学，培养学者们的自我保护意识，在识别霸凌行为、提升社交能力的基础上，从自身做起，形成健全的人格和良好行为规范。

在学习技能的主题中，通过深入教学，培养学者与同伴合作要学会倾听，成为一个尊重他人的学习者，在学习的过程中要集中注意力，有计划地进行学习，学会自我反思、自我调整。

在共情的主题中，让学者学会到如何识别情绪，更好地与自己相处，在与他人的互动中，理解人与人之间的差异性。所有的情绪表达都是有迹可循的，通过寻找更多线索，让学者学会站在他人的角度，去理解对方的观点，以及发生矛盾时要合理化解，避免冲突和矛盾。

在情绪管理的主题中，让学者学会如何面对失望、愤怒、激动等强烈的情绪，分析产生的原因，以及如何处理强烈的情绪。比如说在团体中，会有同学之间打小报告的情况，应该如何化解是学者会思考和谈论的。

在解决问题的主题中，老师不会夸夸其谈，而是注重解决问题的方法指导，重视学者发现问题、提出问题、解决问题能力的培养，比如说在课堂上常遇到的问题，在课外中高年级的同学之间如果出现会有互相有排斥或者拉帮结派的情况，学会如何处理。

In the theme of anti-bullying, scholars are taught self-awareness through age-appropriate layered instruction. Building upon their ability to recognize bullying behavior and social skills, they are encouraged to start from within themselves, fostering a healthy personality and good behavioral norms.

In the theme of learning skills, scholars are taught to collaborate with peers and become respectful learners who listen and focus during the learning process. They are encouraged to pay attention, plan their studies, practice self-reflection, and make self-adjustments.

In the theme of empathy, scholars learn how to identify emotions, better manage their own emotions, and understand differences in interactions with others. They are taught to recognize patterns in emotional expressions and to see things from others' perspectives, facilitating conflict resolution and conflict avoidance.

In the theme of emotional management, scholars learn to confront and analyze strong emotions like disappointment, anger, and excitement. They explore the causes of these emotions and develop strategies for dealing with them. For instance, they might discuss situations where scholars report on each other in a group and how to resolve such conflicts.

In the theme of problem-solving, teachers provide guidance on problem-solving methods, emphasizing the importance of scholars identifying, raising, and resolving issues. For example, they address common classroom issues and how older scholars can handle situations like exclusion or forming cliques among peers, teaching conflict resolution skills.

Ms.Lili说，

小学部每一位学者在入学之初都会有与心理老师交流的机会，在和学者们的交谈中发现，大部分学者在过往的教育经历中是没有接触过心理老师的。而Ms.Lili也说，的确在她这几十年国际学校心理教育的工作经历中，狄邦华曜学校是少数将心理教育真正设立成为一门课程在实施的，相比于传统学校里形同虚设的心理教育课，在狄邦华曜心理健康教育不是摆设！

Ms. Lili shared with us that each elementary school scholar has the opportunity for a face-to-face conversation with school counselor upon enrollment. During these conversations with the scholars, it was discovered that most of them had not previously encountered a school counselor in their previous educational experiences. Ms. Lili also mentioned that in her several decades of experience in international schools’ school counselor department, HC stands out as one of the few schools that genuinely incorporates mental health education as a dedicated course. Unlike the often superficial presence of mental health education classes in traditional schools, at HC, mental health education is not just for show!
