SAMARITANS volunteers are chosen with great care and receive ongoing training and support to enhance their skills.
They listen to people who are experiencing difficult emotional reactions to a huge range of life issues, without prejudice and without making judgements.
They do not counsel or advise people what to do; they simply support callers by helping them through whatever it is that they are going through, whether it be – Bereavement – Depression – Ill Health – Loneliness – Relationship Issues – Violence / Abuse – Addictions / Self-Harm – Financial Pressures – Bullying / School worries.
Through the Samaritans insistence on confidentiality and anonymity all callers are permitted to talk freely and explore all of their thoughts and feelings.
There is a 24 hour Freephone service open all year round on 900 525 100.
