【摘要】本文探讨了青少年心理健康状况的下降和传统道德框架的弱化，认为美德教育能够保护心理健康，因为道德/存在幸福感与心理健康之间存在内在联系。将品格教育融入学校课程，持续不断地提供道德指导，或许是确保逐步清晰地阐明值得过的生活以及如何过上好日子的最佳途径。本文批判了目前流行的临床和积极心理学促进幸福感的方法，这些方法往往忽视了青少年成长中存在和道德的维度。结论强调，需要将道德教育融入心理健康干预措施，以全面解决青少年发展中存在和道德的维度。本文倡导一种积极主动的品格发展模式，以促进道德和存在感的成长。本文认识到美德和元美德发展在个人和道德发展中面临的挑战，可与增强青少年的道德和心理韧性。

[Abstract] This paper explores the decline in adolescent mental health and the weakening of traditional moral frameworks, positing education in the virtues as protective of mental health due to the intrinsic link between moral/existential wellbeing and psychological health. By integrating character education into school curricula, a continuous “dosage” of moral guidance may be an optimal way to ensure a gradual and ever-clearer articulation of a life worth living and how to live well. The paper critiques popular clinical and positive psychological approaches to promoting wellbeing, which often miss the existential and moral dimensions of adolescent growth. The conclusion emphasizes the need for integrating moral education into mental health interventions to address the comprehensive existential and moral dimensions of adolescent development. This paper advocates for a proactive character developmental model that nurtures moral and existential growth, recognizing challenges with virtue and meta-virtue development as integral to personal and moral evolution, and enhancing the moral and psychological fortitude of adolescents.
