Research on Psychological Counseling and Emotional Care of Left-behind Children under the Strategy of Rural Revitalization

Abstract

The development of rural children is an important part of the rural revitalization strategy. Left-behind children are a special group of rural children. A series of practi-cal problems, such as the weak social support system of long-term parent-child sepa-ration, constrain the development of mental health of left -behind children. This paper takes 665 junior middle school students as the research object, conducts a survey with the Mental Health Diagnostic Test for Middle School Students (MHT) questionnaire, compares and analyzes the differences between the mental health of Left-behind and non Left-behind children, describes the characteristics of the mental health of Left-behind children from different demographic indicators, explores the psychologi-cal difficulties of Left-behind children, and puts forward positive and effective psy-chological counseling and emotional care strategies for their healthy growth.
