Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Vaughan Gething: "Mae'n hanfodol ein bod yn sicrhau bod gan ein plant fynediad at gymorth iechyd meddwl effeithiol er mwyn iddynt dyfu i fod yn unigolion iach a hyderus. Rwy'n falch o ddweud bod Cymru wedi arwain y ffordd drwy ddarparu gwasanaethau cwnsela i blant a phobl ifanc rhwng 11 a 18 oed, yn ogystal â disgyblion blwyddyn 6 yn yr ysgol gynradd.
Health and Social Services Minister, Vaughan Gething, added: “Ensuring our children have access to effective mental health support is essential if they are to grow up to be healthy and confident individuals. I’m pleased to say that Wales has led the way by providing counselling services for children and young people aged between 11 and 18, as well as pupils in Year 6 of primary school.
