In recent years, with the rapid development of economy and society, people are facing more and more pressure in a largly competitive environment, and various psychological problems are gradually emerging. The mental health education of university students (especially the art college students)has also become a hot issue of concern to colleges and universities. Paying attention to the mental health education of college students and improving the psychological quality of college students are important parts of cultivating high-quality talents. Although universities have recognized the importance of mental health education for students and have taken a series of measures, there are still many problems. Taking art colleges as an example, this paper combines practical work experience and the psychological characteristics of students in the art performance department and also the problems existing in mental health education, and thus proposes mental health education optimization strategies from the aspects of educational approaches, educational models and educational mechanisms.
