Ym mis Ebrill, cyhoeddodd y Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg Cadernid Meddwl, canfyddiadau ei ymchwiliad i gefnogaeth ym maes iechyd emosiynol ac iechyd meddwl i blant a phobl ifanc. Roedd yr adroddiad yn galw am ddatgan bod iechyd emosiynol ac iechyd meddwl yn flaenoriaeth genedlaethol benodedig, ac ym mis Gorffennaf fe drafodwyd yr adroddiad a'n hymateb ffurfiol yn y Cyfarfod Llawn. Yn ddigon teg, roedd teimladau cryf iawn ymysg Aelodau'r Cynulliad am y testun pwysig hwn. Ers y drafodaeth, rydym wedi bod yn ystyried beth arall y gallwn ei wneud i adnabod a chyflymu'r gwaith da sydd eisoes yn digwydd yn y maes hwn, a sicrhau gwir ddull ysgol gyfan i hybu iechyd meddwl a llesiant.
In April the Children, Young People and Education Committee published Mind over Matter, the findings from its inquiry into the emotional and mental health support for children and young people. The report called for emotional and mental wellbeing and resilience to be a stated national priority and in July we debated the report and our formal response in Plenary. Quite rightly, there was considerable strength of feeling among AMs about this important topic. Since the debate, we have reflected on what more we can do to recognise and accelerate the pace of the good work that is already taking place in this area, and achieving a truly whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing.
