Expect to get the everyday perspective who the Samaritans charity are and how they help people, the role of a listener, they types of calls they receive, why people struggle with mental health, why people feel suicide is the answer, the questions to ask yourself when in crisis, where to find purpose and much more...

Every 10 seconds, Samaritans responds to a call for help. Jake Phillips is 1 of almost 20,000 trained listening volunteers responding to calls for help. They're available, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure. Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, we’re taking action to prevent the crisis. They give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. And they encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can save lives.

They offer listening and support to people and communities in times of need. In prisons, schools, hospitals and on the rail network, Samaritans are working with people who are going through a difficult time and training others to do the same.

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. That’s why they work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.

Whatever you’re facing, a Samaritan will face it with you!
