Mental Health at Work

​Yn 2024, ychwanegodd y Gweithgor Iechyd & Diogelwch ystyriaethau iechyd meddwl at asesiadau o anghenion cymorth cyntaf. Fel cymhorthydd cyntaf, efallai y bydd rhaid i chithau gefnogi rhywun ag afiechyd meddwl, ac mae’n bwysig y gallwch gymryd camau priodol i helpu yn brydlon, diogel ac effeithiol.

​Bydd y cwrs hwn yn cyfoethogi gwybodaeth y dysgwr am iechyd/afiechyd meddwl trwy drafodaethau, gweithgareddau ac astudiaethau enghreifftiol dan arweiniad hyfforddydd. Byddwn yn edrych ar afiechydon meddwl cyffredin, pwysigrwydd empathi wrth gyfathrebu'r stigma a’r effaith a gaiff ar iechyd meddwl a manteision diwylliant iechyd meddwl cadarnhaol yn y gweithle.

​In 2024, the Health & Safety Executive introduced the inclusion of mental health considerations within first aid needs assessments. As a first aider, you may also be required to support someone with mental ill health, and it is important that you are able to take appropriate action to help promptly, safely and effectively.

​This course will enhance a learner’s knowledge of mental health/ill-health through trainer led discussion, activities and case studies. We will explore common mental illnesses, the importance of empathy when communicating, the stigma and effect it has on mental health and the benefits of a positive mental health culture in the workplace.
