With the increasing prominence of mental health issues among junior high school students

the integration of subject teaching and mental health education has become an important direction for educational reform. The music discipline

leveraging its unique attribute of emotional expression

possesses a natural affinity with mental health education. Based on music psychology and humanistic education theory

this paper analyzes the current state of integration between junior high school music classrooms and mental health education. It proposes concrete and actionable integration pathways from four core dimensions: teaching objectives

teaching content

teaching methods

and teaching evaluation. Accompanied by supporting strategies such as enhancing teacher capacity

resource support

and home-school collaboration

it provides practical references for junior high school music teachers to conduct integrated teaching

aiming to achieve the educational goal of "cultivating individuals through aesthetics and soothing the mind through music."
