Our Services

Samaritans aims to benefit society by improving people’s emotional health in order to create a greater sense of well being. Apart from being a 24-hour source of support on the telephone, by email, by letter or face to face, we also work in the local community, visiting:

Workplaces
Samaritans provide a wide number of courses to businesses, helping staff deal with customer conflicts and internal issues. Courses include our award-winning WorkLife programme tackling stress in the workplace, and teaching effective communication via email.

Schools
Schools are an ideal setting to reach large numbers of young people from a range of backgrounds. Samaritans DEAL programme is a flexible series of resources for teachers to use in a number of different subjects.

Prisons
Samaritans offers a number of ways for prisoners to get the support they need, from volunteers visiting prisons to the Listener scheme, which trains prisoners to offer confidential emotional support to their fellow inmates.
