Exerting its professional advantages in mental health education and service nationwide, the Psychological Research and Counseling Center actively offers a series of MOOC general-knowledge courses for mental health education and a series of micro-specialty massive open online courses for mental health service on the MOOC platform of Chinese universities in order to popularize mental health knowledge for teachers, students and the general public nationwide. The 3 MOOC courses, Approaching Psychology, Exploring Psychology, and Psychology of Happiness were released on the “Xuexi” learning platform. About 80 million party members and the general public are taking those courses, which is a high affirmation of the mental health education of Southwest Jiaotong University.

As an ideological and cultural convergence platform with authoritative content, distinctive features, advanced technology and popularity, the learning platform of "Xuexi" (revitalizing China through learning) run by the Central Propaganda Department has important representativeness and influence. After the MOOC course Contemporary Youth Psychology was included in the "Xuexi” learning platform in 2019, the release of those 3 courses on the “Xuexi” learning platform is a positive affirmation of the academic, ideological and professional content of the general-knowledge series of mental health education courses of Southwest Jiaotong University.

The two courses Approaching Psychology, and Exploring Psychology are taught by Professor Ning Weiwei, and the course Psychology of Happiness is taught by associate professor Lei Ming and associate professor Wang Chen.
