The National Centre for Youth Mental Health has revealed that it sees a 35% increase in the number of young people engaging with its services in the run-up to the exam period.

South County Dublin Mayor Mark Ward has said he is 'shocked, angered and dismayed' that Clondalkin's Jigsaw centre is to be amalgamated with the centre in Tallaght.

A new study says anxiety is the most common concern raised by young people seeking help with mental health issues.
