Abstract
The mental health of schoolchildren is seen as increasingly important, and improving the organizational leadership skills of school psychologists is crucial to the development of school mental health services. This paper elaborates on some practical strategies for enhancing the five abilities inherent in organizational leadership using three training methods. The paper aims to help school psychologists to formulate appropriate development goals, maximize the optimal release of energy, and promote the development of high- quality school mental health services.
