Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Mental health and wellbeing is a 20 hour Skills for Life unit, running from Entry 1 to Level 2, on what good mental health and emotional wellbeing mean, why they matter, asking for and offering support, and trying out and reflecting on wellbeing strategies. It is one unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Literacy is central: using wellbeing vocabulary, talking and writing about feelings, asking for and offering support, and comparing strategies. Evidence can be spoken.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Dehongli data
-
Tracking a wellbeing strategy over several days
The pack suggests a short wellbeing diary at Entry Level and a mini wellbeing experiment at Level 1 and Level 2, where learners collect daily notes and evaluate the results, for example by rating mood on a simple scale. No assessment criterion requires numbers or charts, so numeracy is minimal and taught, not assessed.

Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
GCSE Physical Education and Health asks learners to explore connections between their experiences and mental health, and GCSE Health and Social Care and Childcare covers factors that affect wellbeing and talking openly about mental health, so the vocabulary and reflective writing here carry over. Discussion, debate and writing about feelings also support GCSE English Language and Literature. Within the Skills Suite, the pack names Exercise for all, Healthy lifestyle, Healthy relationships, Looking after others and Wellbeing and work as closely related units. The pack also names the WJEC Pathways to Employment Self Development and Wellbeing qualification.
