Jigsaw in your community
Help support young people’s mental health in your community. Jigsaw works with young people, parents and carers, youth groups and community organisations through workshops, training and local partnerships.
Every community is different. We work with you to understand what young people need and explore how Jigsaw can help.
Young people's workshops
Our practical workshops give young people aged 12 to 25 opportunities to build on their strengths and develop skills that support their mental health and wellbeing.
They are suited to youth groups, community groups and other settings where young people come together.
Topics include:
- Building relationships
- Coping with pressure
- Understanding yourself
- Self-care and healthy habits
- Finding purpose and direction
- Connecting with others
- Healthy digital habits
Training for adults
One of the things we hear over and over again from people is how much they want to be able to help the young people in their lives.
Our workshops and training help adults build the knowledge, confidence and skills to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
They focus on creating supportive relationships and environments, helping adults make a positive difference in young people’s lives.
This includes parents and carers, coaches, youth workers, community organisations and other adults who play an important role in young people’s lives.
Working together through Connected Communities
Through Connected Communities, Jigsaw works alongside young people, community organisations and partners to understand what matters locally. Together, we identify ways to strengthen the relationships, skills and environments that support young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
Our approach is to:
Information sessions about Jigsaw
Our short information and awareness sessions help young people, adults and community organisations understand Jigsaw’s supports and services. They explain what support is available and how to access it.
Finding what works for your community
There is no single approach that works for every community. We start by understanding what young people need and what is already happening locally, then explore the most useful way Jigsaw can contribute.
Together, we consider:
- What matters in your community?
- What do young people need?
- What could make a difference?
- What is the best way for Jigsaw to help?
