Someone calls the Samaritans every 6 seconds for support.samaritans

The Samaritans have 201 branches around the country and their phone lines are open every day of the year 24 hours a day. People can call about any problem they have without the fear of judgement. The conversation will go at the pace of the caller and there is no time limit to the conversation.
The Samaritans rely on funding to help support the work they do. They receive very little government funding and so donations from people are essential to the running of the service
Samaritans awareness month was launched on the 5th July 2016. This year the campaign is focussing on helping people become better listeners. The Samaritans state that when people are listened to it can help save lives and have developed their SHUSH listening technique:
Show you care
Have patience
Use open questions
Say it back
Have courage
Samaritans volunteer, Daniel Cheesman, says the tips work in all kinds of situations: “SHUSH! is Samaritans’ starting point for you to be a better listener. When I speak to people as a volunteer, I use these tips to create the necessary space for people to talk. As another benefit, my personal relationships have been transformed by my ability to be a better listener.”
The Samaritans are testing the public to see if they are good listeners with their misheard lyrics quiz. Click here to take part: http://www.samaritans.org/media-centre/our-campaigns/talk-us/misheard-lyrics-quiz
Events have been going on all over the country for July. To see what has been going on visit twitter #talktous
