About us
Jigsaw Laois/Offaly provides a free and confidential support service for young people in counties Offaly and Laois aged 12 – 25. Our Jigsaw Hub is located on Cormac Street in Tullamore.
Jigsaw Laois/Offaly aims to make sure that young people’s voices are heard, and that they get the right support, where and when they need it.
Direct support for young people
Our hub on Cormac St. in Tullamore provides a welcoming space for young people to make an appointment, get information or have a chat with a support worker. If a young person wants support, our staff are there to listen, without making judgements, and to provide supportive guidance. We also provide information and advice to anyone who is worried about a friend or young person in their life. Anyone who would like to make an appointment can ring 057 935 2871.
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 well being. Presentations and talks 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 Kerry can offer.
Working with young people
At Jigsaw, we believe it is vital to make sure young people’s voices are heard. Our Youth Advocates represent us and take part in decision making at every level.
