The Practice Path and Optimization Strategies of Leadership Policies in Higher Education for Students' Mental Health

Abstract

Against the dual backdrop of the popularization of higher education and the acceleration of social transformation, student mental health issues have become a key issue affecting the quality of talent cultivation. As the core lever for coordinating resource allocation and coordinating multiple forces, the practical effectiveness of higher education leadership policies in the field of mental health is directly related to the achievement of educational goals. This article is based on policy frameworks such as the "Special Action Plan for Strengthening and Improving the Mental Health of Students in the New Era (2023-2025)", and combines practical cases from institutions such as Nanyang Normal University and Qingdao Engineering Vocational College to systematically analyze the current practice status of leadership policies in organizational structure building, resource supply, and collaborative mechanism construction. Research has found that there are currently problems such as policy implementation hierarchy gaps, imbalanced resource allocation, and poor coordination mechanisms. By reviewing typical experiences in the construction of the "four level network", collaboration between school doctors, and intelligent monitoring, optimization strategies such as strengthening top-level design, optimizing resource coordination, improving collaborative systems, and perfecting evaluation mechanisms are proposed to provide practical references for improving the quality of mental health work in higher education.
