Let's prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow's too late.
Life can be wonderful. Life can be tough. 1 in 4 of us have had suicidal thoughts.
Samaritans is the charity that prevents suicide through the power of human connection.
Connecting people in crisis with trained volunteers who will always listen. People calling for change with those who need to listen. People who’ve been there before, with those struggling now.

I’ve called Samaritans myself in the past and again that human connection helped me get through my darkest times. I always say their helpline is a lifesaving piece of equipment. It’s a defibrillator for emotions. That’s how important it is. I was fighting for my life, and Samaritans brought me out of crisis.

I’d disappeared into the woods near my house in the middle of the night, battling with suicidal thoughts and struggling to cope with the thoughts and feelings that were overwhelming me. Thankfully I made it back home and called Samaritans who supported me through this difficult period until I felt safe again. Calling Samaritans was the best choice that I could have made in that moment.
