We’re here for you

Preventing Suicide, Providing Hope

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 80,000 calls, texts, and chats on our Helpline.

If you need to talk to someone about how you’re feeling, grieve the loss of a loved one to suicide, or learn how to help others in crisis, you can find support with us.

Our Services

Samaritans provides lifesaving suicide prevention services throughout Greater Boston, MetroWest, and across Massachusetts. Our services are free, confidential, and nonjudgmental.

You can call or text us anytime you feel isolated, desperate, suicidal, or concerned about someone else in your life.

If you have lost a loved one to suicide, you can find support through events, meetings, and peer networks.

Learn how to help someone in crisis by hosting a suicide prevention workshop at your school, workplace, or organization.
