Abstract

This paper discusses the application of the 4R Crisis Management Theory in modern higher education, based on case analysis and research on psychological crisis intervention. This provides support for the theory that prevention is possible and that psychological crises can be intervened in - after starting as well as prevent occurrences in everyday life and that the perception of the mental health effects on students availed is correct. Through the systematic implementation of the 4R Crisis Management Theory, universities can construct a more complete, efficient and systematized mental health intervention framework to further improve campus safety and student psychological health. In addition, this paper puts forward multi-faceted and specific policy suggestions to enhance mental health education, build a psychological crisis early warning mechanism and intensify inter-departmental cooperation.
