Chapter 12: Make today the day you help prevent suicide

Today is the day.

The day someone wakes up unable to see a way out of their problems. The day the past gets too much, their thoughts feel too deep and they’re not sure how to keep going.

Today is also the day you can do something to change that. Samaritans gives people somewhere to turn in their darkest hours – and that moment of human connection could be what saves their life. But only if we’re there for them today. Because for too many people, tomorrow will be too late.

With your support, we can answer more calls and provide that lifeline of human connection when they need it most. We can inspire action through urgent campaigns and bold partnerships. We can work to push suicide prevention to the top of every decision maker’s agenda. And we can change attitudes now – so that more people reach for help, and find it, when it’s most needed.

So, make today the day you support Samaritans. You could help someone with suicidal thoughts get help when they need it most. Every hour. Every day. For every life.
