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.

Our centre in the Market Square, Castlebar provides a welcoming space for young people to call in, get information or have a chat one–to-one with a clinical support worker.

If a young person wants support, our staff are there to listen, without making judgements, and to provide supportive guidance. Along with our hub in Castlebar we have two outreach centres located in Erris and Ballina. If you’re going through a tough time Mindspace can help. There is no issue too small to see us about.
