A monitoring platform for students' mental health was launched during an event for Mental Health Day in college and middle schools in China, which falls on May 25 every year.

The platform will use psychological assessment tools tailored to Chinese adolescents to conduct sample monitoring of the mental health status of primary, secondary and university students nationwide, providing scientific guidance and support for local authorities and school.

Representatives from local education bureaus and schools shared their measures to detect and intervene the mental health problems of students at the event, which was held at Beijing Normal University.

Starting this year, the Ministry of Education has designated May as the National Student Mental Health Education Month.
