LIMERICK Youth Service in partnership with a number of national youth organisations including Youth Work Ireland & SpunOut have launched a new online live youth information chat service.
The online chat service can be accessed at www.spunout.ie where young people can speak with a youth information officer about issues that they need more support and guidance about such as school, college, friends, unemployment rights etc.
Following a successful pilot in late 2019 the new service was expedited due to the Covid-19 pandemic where young people are in need of information and guidance.
The chat service is available between 4pm and 8pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).
This is not a service for people experiencing a mental health crisis, but if you need mental health support right now, text SPUNOUT to 086 1800 280 to start an anonymous conversation with a trained volunteer – 24/7. Standard text message rates may apply.
