Abstract

As a global public health problem, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is an important factor leading to serious psychological and behavioral problems in children and adolescents. Mental health service plan based on mental health service needs is the key to effectively improve the psychological problems of children and adolescents with ACEs. Emotional support, life skills training, mental health education, and individualized psychological intervention can effectively improve the mental health of children and adolescents with ACEs. Among them, emotional support is an important way to help individual reduce psychological and behavioral problems; secondly, life skills training can significantly improve the individual's psychosocial ability; and mental health education is a necessary way to promote the development of individual mental health. Individualized psychological intervention can promote individual to obtain more professional mental health service and improve their psychological symptoms, which is crucial for preventing the occurrence of mental health problems. Future research can develop targeted mental health interventions based on the specific mental health service needs.

童年不良经历(adverse childhood experiences,ACEs)作为全球普遍存在的公共卫生问题,是导致儿童和青少年出现严重心理行为问题的重要因素。基于心理健康服务需求制订的心理健康服务方案是有效改善ACEs儿童和青少年心理问题的关键所在。情感支持、生活技能训练、心理健康教育和个性化心理干预等能够有效地提高ACEs儿童和青少年的心理健康水平。其中,情感支持是帮助个体减少心理行为问题的重要方式,生活技能训练能够显著提高个体的心理社会能力,心理健康教育可促进个体的心理健康发展。个性化心理干预能够促使个体获得更专业的心理健康服务,改善其心理症状,对于预防心理健康问题的发生至关重要。未来研究可根据ACEs个体特定的心理健康服务需求开发有针对性的心理健康干预方案。.
