With mental health being the primary health concern affecting young people today, the development of accessible and appropriate services has never been more important. Access to early and timely support is the key to resolving many of the difficulties that young people experience.

Evidence based research has identified that 75% of mental disorders appear before the age of 25. Considering this fact, early intervention has never been more relevant.

Mindspace Mayo is that early intervention. It is a free, non-judgemental and confidential service for young people aged 12 – 25 based in County Mayo.

Mindspace offers a support service to young people  presenting with anything from common concerns (e.g. exam stress, relationships, bereavement, self- image, drugs & alcohol) to young people with emerging mental health difficulties such as mild depression and anxiety.
