Jigsaw builds a clearer picture

AFTER two years of planning, Headstrong’s Jigsaw programme opened in Galway’s Mary St on December 1 last.

Galway was chosen as a demonstration site for Jigsaw for a variety of reasons, being a university city and recognised as a hive of cultural and social activity for young people. There is also a large number of youth-focused organisations throughout Galway.

Involving young people in designing mental health services to meet their needs is at the core of the Jigsaw model.
