Your voice can help shape the future of mental health services. 💛

Have you used CAMHS and have ideas about what could make mental health services better for young people?

Jigsaw and the HSE are looking for young people aged 12–17 with experience of using mental health services to join the Child & Youth Mental Health Advisory Panel.

It’s an opportunity to share your experiences, have your say and help make services better for other young people. 🗣️

The closing date has been extended! Applications are now open until 5pm on 14 September 2026.

A huge thank you to our fundraisers!

We have Aiden who completed the RNLI Myrtleville to Church Bay 2 km Swim and raised €1588 for Jigsaw

The brilliant fellas at wecrywerise have been doing trojan work between hosting meetups, selling merch and providing a supportive training space. They're also taking part in this year's Dip for Jigsaw fundraiser event!

Finally, renegadecowboysirl have been on the road for their grueling, 10,000-mile motoring adventure across Europe and Asia, navigating treacherous roads all the way to Far East Kazakhstan.

Your support truly means the world, Thank you!
