YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Do you feel sad, lonely, hopeless, or suicidal? We’re here to listen to you, 24 hours a day.
Samaritans works to prevent suicide and support those who have lost someone to suicide. Each year, 300+ volunteers answer more than 75,000 calls and text messages on our Helpline.

“This workshop opened my eyes to the fact that students want to be heard — but often we must ask and be direct about it.”
