Objective: This study amis to evaluate the effect of resilience group counseling based on Achieving Success Everyday(ASE) group counseling model on mental health promotion of junior high school students. Methods: An experimental design of 2 (experimental group/control group)×3(pre-test/post-test/follow-up test) was adopted to conduct resilience group counseling for junior high school students in a school in southern Xinjiang (8 weeks, once a week, each activity lasts for 60-90 min), followed by a detailed analysis of intervention effect. Results: After intervention, scores of resilience, goal focus, emotional control, family support, interpersonal assistance, core self-evaluation, coping styles and positive coping in intervention group increased significantly(t=8.93, 3.78, 6.62, 3.17, 6.13, 5.18, 4.01, 2.91, P<0.01). The scores of mental health and negative coping significantly decreased (t=-4.24, -3.01, P<0.01) and was lower than control group(t=-2.58, -3.11, P<0.05). The scores of resilience, goal focus, interpersonal assistance, core self-evaluation, coping styles and positive coping were significantly higher than those of the control group(t=3.88, 2.84, 3.18, 4.19, 3.68, 2.49, P<0.01). The results of the follow-up test showed that the scores of resilience and goal concentration, emotional control, positive cognition, family support, interpersonal assistance, core self-evaluation and positive coping were still significantly higher than those of the pretest(t=5.69, 3.50, 2.26, 2.80, 2.64, 4.13, 3.39, 2.13, P<0.05), and the scores of mental health were still significantly lower than the pretest(t=-4.62, P<0.01). Conclusion Mental resilience group counseling based on ASE model can effectively improve students’ mental health level, and at the same time, it shows positive effect on improving core self-evaluation and coping styles.
