Jigsaw says it’s cut waiting times for young people seeking mental health support in half, despite a sharp rise in demand.
The national youth mental health charity received more than 11,000 referrals last year – the highest number in its history.
Referrals have risen by another 33 per cent so far this year.
Jigsaw’s Donegal base is at Pearse Road in Letterkenny, with calls for outreach services to be developed elsewhere in the county, given its size.
Jigsaw CEO Dr Joseph Duffy is warning long-term funding will be needed to improve access to services……….
