With the rapid development and high competition in the financial industry, university graduates face significant psychological adaptation challenges during their transition from campus to the workplace. High-intensity work pressure, complex ethical dilemmas, and continuous demands for high performance collectively constitute the "psychological sticking points" for graduates' workplace adaptation. This paper, based on the practical exploration of the "Set Sail for Your Career, Start from the 'Heart'" mental health education project, aims to construct a multi-dimensional, systematic strategy system for enhancing the psychological adaptability of graduates in the financial industry. Abandoning the traditional quantitative analysis paradigm, this study adopts a qualitative strategy inquiry method to deeply analyze the psychological mechanisms behind the interventions. The strategy system constructed in this paper includes three core dimensions: the "value-guided cognitive shaping" strategy, which resolves practitioners' vague professional values and ethical dilemmas through ethical seminars and scenario-based debates; the "skill-based behavioral empowerment" strategy, which enhances graduates' emotion regulation and stress-coping abilities using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and graded stress simulations; and the "resource-backed continuous support" strategy, which achieves long-term and accessible intervention by building a cloud-based "psychological first-aid kit" and an instant support network. This paper further explores the "interdisciplinary" and "ecological closed-loop" innovative features of this strategy system, namely the "Credit Management + Psychological Capital" dual-core-driven model, and the positive psychology intervention approach shifting from "problem-solving" to "potential-stimulation." The research concludes that a qualitative, development-oriented intervention system that is industry-specific, integrates professional ethics, and provides continuous support is an effective pathway to enhancing the workplace psychological adaptability of graduates.
