At Jigsaw, we understand and support young people’s mental health.
We are a community of professionals, supporters, and volunteers with a shared belief in an Ireland where every young person’s mental health is valued and supported.
Both online and in our services around the country, we give advice and support to help young people aged 12–25 years-old.
We give families, educators, and those who support young people’s mental health ways to cope and the skills to be there for young people.
We share our knowledge and expertise, and together use our collective power to change attitudes and make sure that youth mental health is a local and national priority.

Even three sessions in, I was feeling so much better about my own self-esteem, about my own life, about where I was going with my own life.
James, 22, James’ story
An Ireland where every young person’s mental health is valued and supported.
To advance the mental health of young people in Ireland, aged 12-25, by influencing change, strengthening communities, and delivering services through our evidence informed early intervention and prevention approach.
We will use our experience and knowledge to create a more supportive environment for young people. By working together with our partners we want to secure changes to awareness levels, laws, policies, funding and more to advance our vision for the mental health of Ireland’s young people.
We believe in a community-based, holistic approach and we cannot achieve our vision without the active involvement of communities across Ireland. To make the change happen that we see as essential, we want to inform, support, and educate everyone across Ireland about young people’s mental health.
We will continue to grow and develop our youth mental health services and supports. We want to make sure that our services are accessible, visible, impactful, inclusive and timely.
In our work at Jigsaw it’s imperative that we ensure we’re doing the right things, and then doing those things in the right way...
Dr Joseph Duffy, Chief Executive Officer
I thought Jigsaw was amazing. There should be more out there for teens. They helped me get my life back, and I know that more teens need that kind of support.
