Samaritans Awareness Day 24th July
The Samaritans are a charity organisation that provides emotional support to people in distress particularly those at risk of suicide.
On the Samaritans website it says that the charity “prevents suicide through the power of human connection. Connecting people in crisis with trained volunteers who will always listen.” Every 10 seconds they answer a call for help.
The 24th July is chosen to coincide with 24/7 reflecting the round-the-clock availability of the Samaritans helpline. This day aims to highlight the importance of mental health, encourage conversations about emotional wellbeing, and promote the availability of support services for those in need.
