Why choose Samaritans Workplace

Why choose Samaritans Workplace

We train and support staff in external organisations across the private, public and voluntary sectors in skills to handle emotionally challenging situations effectively, sensitively and professionally. For example, where staff deal with stressed or angry members of the public or managers who support staff who are overloaded with work or proving difficult to manage.

How we benefit your organisation:

  • We have 60 years of experience – you’ll benefit from our tried and tested techniques.
  • We’re professional and credible – we have a well-reputed professional training team and the success of our training lies in the credibility of our brand. The Third Sector Charity Brand Index 2010 voted Samaritans as one of the top 20 charities most trusted by the general public.
  • We’re cost-effective – we charge a fixed price for in-house courses and offer discounts for not-for-profit organisations and multiple course bookings. Our training starts from £45 per delegate.
  • We put your money back into our helpline services – Samaritans Workplace is an extension of our charitable work and your money goes back into our crucial telephone, email, text and postal support services for the 2.8 million calls for help we receive a year.
