Introduction

The adolescents’ mental health problems become more serious nowadays, which can be proved by
increasing number of teenagers suffering from depression and committing suicide. However, psychological
health education has been neglected in backward areas in Mainland China. In light of that, we, who are of
the similar age, hope to bring them general knowledge of psychological health and means of mental
adjustments, as well as to share our experience with them. We also hope to guide them to establish a proper self-cognition

Reflection and Learning

The project was divided into two major parts: ' Self-cognition' and ' Mental Adjustments', and our aim was
to benefit students through well-designed lectures and experiential activities. During the project, we
encountered unexpected setbacks, such as chaos in activities and conflicts on time allocation. Eventually
these problems were resolved and we kept learning and improving our service through evaluations. In
addition, we had a better understanding of local students' psychological conditions after communication with them. This service killed two birds with one stone as we had accumulated experience for future service
activities and the volunteers had an opportunity to reflect on themselves through the service with these
young students.
