We are pleased to introduce a new resource from IPIA designed to support patients and their families in accessing mental health services more easily.
The Mental Health Support Toolkit is now live and available on our website. This initiative brings together a curated set of trusted supports, services, and guidance that patients and families can access directly when they need help. https://ipiainfo.org/toolkit/mental-health-support/
Featured Supports
Signposted support: MyMind and Jigsaw are independent services. IPIA shares these links to help patients and families access support.

MyMind, provides accessible counselling and psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, and adults. They offer support for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, low mood, stress, and more. Services are available both online and in person, with a focus on making therapy affordable and easy to access.
Free Mental Health Support for Young People
Jigsaw is a free, youth-focused mental health service for young people aged 12–25. They offer one-to-one support, as well as advice and guidance on issues such as anxiety, relationships, and coping with everyday challenges. Jigsaw also provides resources for parents and families supporting young people.
How to Use This Resource
You can visit the toolkit at any time and explore the services that best suit your needs. Many supports allow you to self-refer, meaning you can reach out directly without needing a referral.
Doctors and nurses may also guide you to this resource as part of your care, so feel free to ask them about it during your visit.
Taking the first step toward support can make a real difference. We encourage you to explore what is available and share this resource with family or friends who may benefit.
