Government Launches ‘Navigator’ Tool for Youth Wellbeing
Sep 01, 2025
The Government has launched navigator, a new digital signposting tool developed by spunout in collaboration with the Department of Health and the HSE.
Designed for young people aged 14 to 34, navigator offers anonymous, personalised access to mental health resources and services.
This mobile-first platform helps users overcome barriers like stigma and fragmented service access. By answering three short questions, users receive tailored results including expert-approved apps, articles, podcasts, and direct links to 24/7 support via spunout’s Text About It service.
Navigator was funded through Budget 2024 and developed with strategic oversight from a multidisciplinary HSE steering group. It aligns with the National Child and Youth Mental Health Action Plan and supports the government’s commitment to digital mental health access.
