Neart– a programme of mental health supports for post-primary schools

January 30, 2025

Dear parent/guardian,

Over the next 3 years, Jigsaw is delivering Neart– a programme of mental health supports for post-primary schools (in partnership with National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS)/ Department of Education). Please see the Minister’s press release at this link: https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/057c4-minister-foley-announces-jigsaw-as-successful-bidder-to-deliver-new-programme-to-support-wellbeing-and-mental-health/

At Jigsaw, we also provide a range of supports for parents/guardians more widely through our local Jigsaw services, our website and in the community.

We want to provide the most relevant information, advice, support and practical strategies for you as a parent/guardian, to enable you to support your young person’s mental health. To help us do this, we would like to hear from you about the youth mental health issues you are most concerned about/interested in by completing a very short survey at this link https://jigsawymh.typeform.com/to/GyFrkdtd

Neart Survey

The survey should take no longer than 4 minutes to complete. Within the survey, there is also an opportunity for you to sign up to participate in a follow-up consultation process with us where we are very keen to have further discussions with parents/guardians about the mental health areas you are most concerned about. Please note, the survey will close on 5th February 2025.

We look forward to hearing from you and to partnering with you to ensure that parents/guardians across the country are receiving the best possible range of information and supports in relation to youth mental health.

Kind regards

Siobhán
