Your words are a life-saving kit
Small talk saves lives
A little small talk and a simple question like ‘Hey, are you alright?’ can be all it takes to interrupt someone's suicidal thoughts. In fact, 67% of people in the UK would appreciate someone checking on them, offering words of support, if they were struggling to cope. If you see someone who doesn’t look OK, a little small talk could save their life. Anyone can do it.
What we're working on
Every ten seconds, we respond to a call for help. No judgement. No pressure. We're here for anyone who needs someone.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at Samaritans
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion is one of the key principles in our new strategy and will connect with everything we do, guiding the way we work and behave.
United with the frontline
United with the frontline is an advocacy campaign calling on governments to properly resource and train frontline workers in suicide prevention to help save lives.
