Mental health, the cognition of mental health service and the needs of it were significantly related. For college students, the needs for mental health services are proportional to the level of their mental health, and marks of SCL-90 are a significant positive predicator of their mental health. College students who are active in the learning of professional mental health services and favorable accounts of professional staff are more likely to take the initiative to seek mental health services.(3) Mental health services system of Guangdong universities is composed of management and supervision, the construction of the service team, and technology system three parts.

The work of mental health services has got widespread praise among society, government and educational institution.(5) However, some problems still exist in the work of mental health systems. There are large differences in different level schools and the developments are imbalanced. Problems also show up in narrow channels in collecting money, without sufficient service institutions and professional teachers, monotonous ways in solving mental health problems, serious neglect of the mental health problem of teachers, postgraduates and psychotherapists.(6) The Strategies to establish the mental health service system in the universities of Guangdong including:to narrow the gap between deferent levels of schools, to make full use of the main force, to build up a team in both professional and unprofessional perspectives, to bring the main role into a higher place, to set the courses about metal heath with certain purpose, to care more about the mental health of the staff and to strengthen the cooperation with the external system.(7) Mental health service system in the universities in Guangdong plays a guidance part in universities in other places.Firstly, the key is that leaders should attaches importance to it.
