Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people in Ireland is something everyone can get behind. Increasingly workplaces and companies are playing a vital role in support young people, parents and their wider communities.
Jigsaw is Ireland’s leading youth mental health charity. We are committed to improving young people’s mental health and to building supportive communities around Ireland.
To do this we:
- Provide free one-to-one therapy to young people who need it.
- Deliver community-based programmes to inform, support, and educate.
- Engage in pioneering research to understand young people and how to help.
But we cannot do this on our own, we need the help and support of corporates and workplace partners to help us continue to deliver for the most important people in all our lives, our children and young people.
We have an award-winning approach to partnerships, that is centred around relationship building, collaboration and shared objectives.
This approach has three-pillars: invest in us, invest in you, and invest together.
Invest in Us
We will work with organisations to support them in investing in our free therapy and support services for young people, through fundraising, corporate donations, volunteering and philanthropy.
Invest in You
We support companies and workplaces, its staff, stakeholders and customers through investing in the roll out our ‘Working Well Toolkit’, Jigsaws workplace wellbeing program, which provides advise, support and guidance to young people (under 25), parents and managers of young people (under 25) in the workplace.
Invest Together
We will work with you to raise awareness of our partnership with key internal and external audiences. We will also leverage our partnership to help raise awareness and understanding of the general public of the public of the crisis facing young people and their mental health.
Justin McDermott, Fundraising Manager at Jigsaw, explains:
“We know that many people in Ireland really understand the crisis in youth mental health in Ireland. They see it in their families and their communities. People know that organisations like Jigsaw are working to help young people and are changing lives.
“Through our many years of award-winning experience partnering with companies across Ireland, we also know that people in businesses want to help and becoming a corporate partner with Jigsaw is a such a great way to do it. If you are interested, I would really encourage you to reach out to us, and we can discuss the ways we can work together.”
