Jigsaw Dublin South West

About us

While Jigsaw is a mental health service, it is also specifically an early intervention service for young people at a primary care level. This means that Jigsaw helps young people going through mild to moderate mental health difficulties. We aim to offer support at difficult periods of their lives before these issues become more serious and in need of longer, more intensive health supports.

Direct support for young people

Getting support early on can help strengthen a young person’s resilience for the future, teaching them positive ways to cope with difficulties. This can prevent problems before they snowball into something less manageable. It can prevent some young people from developing long-term and serious mental health problems later in life.

Working with young people

At Jigsaw, we believe it’s vital to make sure that young people’s voices are heard. Our Youth Advisory Panel (YAP) represents us and takes part in decision-making at every level.

Working with the community

As well as directly helping young people in tough times, we want to work towards a community that is supportive of mental health and wellbeing. Presentations and workshops in schools, workplaces and community groups aim to open up a discussion on mental health and raise people’s awareness of the support that Jigsaw Dublin South West can offer.
