Effects of Recession on Mental Health: Statements
I am impressed by the work of Head Strong and Jigsaw, and I am aware that other groups do such work throughout the country. I have seen what is happening in Galway and Ballymun in this regard. I have been invited to Navan where I will shortly launch the programme. We have had talks with philanthropic organisations which are taken by the notion that, if we can provide funding for early intervention through the See Change programme, it can be developed further. I hope to be able to say something more specific about that when I next return to the House.
