Our services (the phone lines, emails, letters and in branch) are manned by everyday people who volunteer for Samaritans. They've been through months of thorough training to qualify as a Samaritan, so they really know what they're doing, and how best to help you, no matter what the issue is.
Talk to us any time you like, in your own way, and off the record - about whatever's getting to you. You don't have to be suicidal. There's no typical problem that people talk to us about. You can talk to us anything that's making you feel bad. We've been talking to people about difficult feelings since 1953. In that time we've learned a lot about what really helps.>
We can help you explore your options, understand problems better, or just show you that someone is always prepared to care.
Just having someone to talk to that isn't family or friends can be a tremendous help. You don't have to be suicidal to get in touch.
