Jigsaw is delighted to partner with the National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS)/Department of Education to provide a comprehensive suite of mental health and wellbeing resources, training and programmes for post-primary schools over the next 3 years. The NEART initiative provides learning opportunities for students to promote mental health and wellbeing, as well as mental health webinars and e-Learning courses for parents and school staff. NEART will complement the supports already available in schools which include the provision of guidance counselling, the work of NEPS, as well as other existing wellbeing programmes and initiatives, including the Student Support Team structure.

Testimonials
Supporting young people’s mental health in places where they live, learn, work and play has been the central mission of Jigsaw since our establishment in 2006. Our partnership with Department of Education/NEPS hugely supports this ambition.
Neart will strengthen the valuable services already available in our schools. I hope your school community avails of the supports made available through Jigsaw’s Neart programme and we look forward to continuing to work together to support all our young people in schools.
Neart will focus on enhancing the wellbeing and mental health of young people through working with the whole school community, using supports and training developed for parents/guardians and school staff. We hope all schools will register and take part in this important initiative.
