It can be very difficult when a young girl hits puberty early. Especially when all her classmates, and indeed she, still seem just like little girls. If your daughter starts puberty early, she will need a lot of help, guidance and support from you. As well as dealing with a changing body, she will face further difficulties such as dealing with the reaction of her friends, peers and even adults. The best way to do this is be informed.
Sometimes when we face a challenge we just need to think about it in a different way. Mindset Finders are a fun way to help you change your perspective on challenges that we all face.
How to use your Mindset Finder
1.Either by yourself or with a friend, choose a Mindset Finder from the patterns below, that best describes the challenge you’re facing, or your goal. Follow the directions on how to fold the Mindset Finder. (Click on each picture below to see it more clearly)
2.With your thumbs and index fingers in the pockets, pick a
word from the outside of the Finder and pinch and pull for
each letter while you spell out the challenge. For example,
if your difficulty is that you got something “WRONG,” you’d
pinch and pull 5 times while you spelled out W-R-O-N-G.
3. Next, choose one of the 4 visible numbers, and pinch and
pull that number of times.
4. Finally, choose one last number and lift up the flap to reveal
a new Mindset to help you with your challenge.

Jigsaw Donegal aims to make sure that young people’s voices are heard, and that they get the right support, where and when they need it. Jigsaw Donegal is a partnership between HSE and The Alcohol Forum.
Jigsaw offers a one-to-one support service for young people aged between 15 and 25. We can assess your mental health and help you to understand what is going on for you. We will work with you to set goals around what you would like to be different in your life. Then we will support you to reach those goals, through talking things out, problem solving, learning new skills and / or hooking you up with other services that might be able to help (e.g. education & training; youth services etc).
Jigsaw helps young people through the current hurdles, learning skills along the way that will help them overcome the next challenge that comes their way. Jigsaw is a free and confidential service that is built on really listening to you and your experience and working with you to make things better.
Just ring in or call in during our drop in hours.
We can advise you on the best service for the young person based on the information you provide.
As a parent we can inform you of how to support a young person yourself or how to help them access Jigsaw or other supports that they might need.
