Samaritans Research
Samaritans is committed to carrying out high quality research to
develop our understanding in a number of areas:

- Mental health issues, including suicide prevention
- Voluntary sector
Through commissioning, supporting and carrying out high quality
research, we aim to continually develop our understanding of
suicide prevention and issues relating to wellbeing, and ultimately
improve the services we provide to our callers.
All research projects are carried out within strict ethical
guidelines, and approved by ethics committees.
