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.
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.
