Jigsaw’s One Good Manager is an initiative which supports the mental health of young people in the workplace.
We know from the My World Survey 2 that young people benefit greatly from having someone to be able to talk to. Having this person in their lives was linked to better overall mental health.
In this article we will learn:
For June’s instalment of Jigsaw Dublin City’s rolling gallery, we are celebrating Pride month 2021.
Every month, our Dublin City team have used the windows of the service to spread a creative message of positivity. Our staff and youth volunteers created this month’s artwork to celebrate Dublin’s Pride festival
We are delighted to team up with the Football Association of Ireland in a new partnership to help coaches and players nationwide through the One Good Coach campaign.
The Jigsaw services in North Fingal and Dublin 15, along with their Youth Advisory Panels, collaborated with 20+ youth organisations/schools in a cross-Fingal community project. The aim of the project was to involve young people in a conversation around what happened to them in a year that none of us expected.
It’s the start of a new month and with that comes the latest instalment of the rolling gallery. This month Jigsaw Dublin City volunteers collaborated with international artist David Uda, who generously gave his time and creativity to bring the piece to life.
Every month, Jigsaw Dublin City volunteers have used the windows of the service to spread a message of positivity. Last month’s display paid tribute to all the awe inspiring women in our lives for International Women’s Day. In February, we were reminded that even when you’re down, there are people who love you and are looking out for you.
Too often in Jigsaw we hear from young people about the negative impact racism has on their mental health.
We need to send a clear message that racism and hate have no place in our communities. That’s why Jigsaw is joining more than 90 charities and organisations from across Ireland in supporting the Irish Network Against Racism’s #LoveNotHate campaign.
The campaign calls for the government to enact hate crime legislation immediately, to offer the best protection to people from affected groups in Ireland.
Results of our recent survey revealed that less than half (45.5%) of the staff in Ireland’s schools felt confident about responding to a young person with mental health difficulties.
The survey also showed over a quarter (25.5 %) reported providing regular ongoing support to a student experiencing mental health difficulties.
We are delighted by the support for the opening of our Jigsaw service in Tipperary. The pandemic has undoubtedly impacted progress.
As an organisation, supporting young people’s mental health is central to everything we do. We remain absolutely committed to bringing our service to young people and the community as quickly as possible. Here are some updates on the current status of the project.
March’s rolling gallery wishes a Happy International Women’s Day to all the awe inspiring women in our lives.
Each month, Jigsaw Dublin City volunteers spread a message of positivity using the windows of the service. In January, we received the welcomed reminder we will see better days. To mark Valentine’s day, the volunteers shared a positive and inclusive message that even when you’re down, there are people who love you and are looking out for you.
For this month’s instalment of the rolling gallery, we’re getting two messages for the price of one.
To mark Eating Disorder’s Week 2021, Clinicians and Youth Advisory Panel from our Jigsaw service in Donegal have joined forces to bring you tips for healthy eating habits.
When you have a lot on your plate, it can mean that you feel like you have a lot on your mind. Common concerns that young people would come to our Jigsaw services about are worrying about school, relationships, exams or finances.
Over the years, young people’s routines and eating habits have changed significantly. Some people may notice their eating habits change when they feel anxious or overwhelmed. For Eating Disorder’s Week 2021, we are focusing on Jigsaw’s 5 a day for mental health and how it can relate to the promotion of healthy eating habits.
