Overview
Samaritans provide completely confidential emotional support 24 hours a day by phone, face-to-face, email and letter and allow callers to talk openly about their worries and concerns without fear of being judged.
What we do
People contact us for many reasons: commonly mentioned are relationships, sex, love, divorce, debt, being gay, lesbian or heterosexual as well as many other issues causing the caller distress or despair. Whatever the problem if it is causing you or someone you know distress, despair or depression, why not talk to us about it? Talking it through with someone can often help.
Who really cares for people who are going through a crisis, are on the verge of despair or contemplating self-harm or suicide?
Samaritans do.
