Recently, the “Face-to-Face” event on adolescent mental health, organized by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League (CYL), was held at our university. A Dong, First Secretary of the CYL Secretariat, and Li Shijie, Standing Committee Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), attended and delivered speeches. University Party Secretary Cao Wenjun delivered the opening remarks. Representatives from the Ministry of Education, the National Health Commission, and other government departments, as well as NPC deputies, CPPCC members, and experts, totaling over 200 participants, joined the event.

The meeting thoroughly studied and implemented the important directives of General Secretary Xi Jinping on adolescent mental health, emphasizing the need to improve the “Five-Pronged Education” system and strengthen psychological services and crisis intervention from the perspective of nurturing talent for the Party. Experts discussed policy refinement and proposal implementation, calling for an optimized growth environment for adolescents and the cultivation of a positive, healthy mindset.

As part of the CPPCC Youth League Sector’s “Serving the People Through Committee Duties” series, the event also featured the “12355 Love ‘Heart’ Campus Tour” youth carnival. Twenty-three universities and seven institutions jointly set up 34 themed booths, offering interactive experiences to help over 1,000 students focus on mental health and showcasing the achievements of mental health education in Beijing’s higher education institutions.

This event established an important platform for building a comprehensive adolescent mental health support system, fostering a collaborative, multi-stakeholder approach to youth development.
