Jigsaw Galway

Jigsaw Galway is a free and confidential support service for 15-25 year olds living in Galway city and county.

We provide:

• information,
• non-judgemental listening,
• emotional support,
• guided self-help and
• supported referral to other services  

for young people who are going through difficult times.

Young people can text, email, call or drop-in to our centre in the city. If they can't come to the drop-in centre, we can meet them in a place where they feel comfortable and safe.

We have a variety of professionals available such as Support Workers, Nurse, Doctors and After-care Workers.  If a young person needs further / different supports, we will work to ensure that they are linked in with the most appropriate services.

The aim is to ensure that young people get the support they need, when and where they need it.

Jigsaw Galway is a partnership between Headstrong (www.headstrong.ie), the Health Service Executive (www.hse.ie) and Mental Health Ireland (www.mentalhealthireland.ie).

Jigsaw has a Youth Panel, with members from a variety of backgrounds, which plays a hugely influential role in creating and maintaining a service that is open, youth-friendly and youth-focused.
