The discussion highlights Navigator, a free, anonymous online tool supporting 16–25-year-olds to find tailored mental health supports in Ireland, and how young people informed its development.
The episode also explores spunout’s Safer Conversations Online course, which supports responsible discussion of sensitive topics such as suicide, self-harm and eating disorders on social media. Listeners are signposted to trusted digital resources designed to empower young people to seek support safely and confidently.
