THROUGH JIGSAW’S OWN RESEARCH, THEY IDENTIFIED THAT MENTAL HEALTH IS THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN FOR YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS IRELAND. As our world continues to change, evolve and become ever-more complex and pressurised, the stresses on our young people are greater than at any other time in history. The outcomes of this pressure are clear - suicide remains the biggest cause of death among Irish young people aged 15-24, rates of self-harm are higher than ever before, and young people are experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety and stress in their everyday lives. • At least one in five young people in Ireland will go through some kind of mental health difficulty before the age of 25. • Mental health is young people’s number one concern. The stresses on our young people are greater than at any other time in history. • Many young people in distress are not seeking help. With 13 dedicated services in communities across Ireland, Jigsaw provide early intervention mental health supports to young people aged 12-25. Its vision is to create an Ireland where every young person’s mental health is valued and supported. Through our committed partnership, we have pledged to raise €1 million over three years and to raise vital awareness of youth mental health across Ireland. Our funding will go directly into the development of a dedicated Schools Programme. According to the World Health Organisation, an effective school health Resources and Agriculture programme can be one of the most cost-effective investments a nation can make to simultaneously improve education and health. The programme will support schools and communities in supporting young people with their mental wellbeing. In year one, Jigsaw aims to reach over 80,000 young people, as well as hundreds of teachers and school leadership teams and thousands of parents across 100+ schools. We are delighted to be supporting such a positive, impactful initiative. Supply Chain and Processing Operations and Processes Customer and Society Pledged to raise €1,000,000 over 3 years 53
