Based on the concept of humanistic care education, this paper explores the interactive influence of students' personal growth and mental health and its educational practice significance. Through empirical analysis of high school students, the study found that mental health and personal growth are significantly positively correlated. Students with good mental health perform better in self-cognition, emotional management and social adaptability, and positive personal growth further promotes mental health. Humanistic care education significantly improves students' mental health and accelerates their growth process through emotional support and personalized attention. Case analysis shows that Finland's "whole-person education" model and China's "double reduction" policy have both verified their role in improving students' physical and mental state. The study emphasizes the key role of humanistic care education in coordinating the relationship between the two, and recommends that schools integrate psychological counseling and interest cultivation to build a humane educational environment to promote students' all-round development and happiness.
