Back The navigator is a free, anonymous and simple three-step tool that helps you find mental health information and support in Ireland tailored to your specific needs.
The tool will ask you three short questions. You start by choosing a mental health topic or concern. Next, you refine your search by focusing on the specific aspect of that topic that is most relevant to you right now. In the final step, you receive personalised results, including expert-checked factual articles, real-life stories, calming activities, and signposts to appropriate support services in Ireland.
