“Jigsaw”, latter the national centre for youth mental health, began dealing with referrals from its new Tipperary headquarters in Thurles yesterday, (July 26th), that’s according to Tipperary County Council.
The Tipperary Director of Services Mr Patrick Slattery confirmed earlier that initially consultations would be dealt with, only by phone and online. Face-to-face consultations would not begin until possibly next August, once training of staff had been fully completed.
Mr Slattery also confirmed that there was no further update as yet regarding outreach hubs, however he further stated that he understood that Jigsaw were first committed to rolling out the service from Thurles, before opening the promised and badly needed two hubs in the towns of Nenagh and Clonmel, in Co. Tipperary.
