Jigsaw The National Centre For Youth Mental Health

Jigsaw is Ireland’s National Centre for Youth Mental Health. Set up in 2006, Jigsaw is a charitable organisation committed to changing how Ireland thinks about and supports young people’s mental health. Young people are our core focus, but at Jigsaw we do far more than support them; we involve them. Direct participation by dedicated young people is central to all three of our programmes: Service, Research and Engagement. Young people help to enhance our understanding of the challenges they face and, equally importantly, they help us develop creative and appropriate solutions to those issues. In 2016, the year of our tenth anniversary, we changed our name from Headstrong to Jigsaw. This was in recognition of the incredible efforts of our supporters, staff and Youth Advisory Panels in making the name of our service ‘the word’ in the national conversation about youth mental health. We know that Jigsaw works. Working together under the one name, we aim to set the course for a future where every community across Ireland will have access to the support that Jigsaw offers – We are Jigsaw. Our charity (revenue) number is CHY 17439. Our Registered Charity number is 20064846
