Let Samaritans help you through your moment of crisis

Across Ireland over 2,200 Samaritans volunteers make sure that there’s someone there - day or night if you’re struggling to cope. We are here to listen; no judgement, no pressure, to help you work through what's on your mind.

Samaritans provide a service that’s not only for a moment of crisis. We offer listening and support to people in times of need so that we can help them avoid getting to a point of crisis.

People contact us with all sorts of concerns and what might be a small issue to you may be huge to someone else. You don’t have to be suicidal to contact us. You could be going through something new or have been struggling to cope for some time; either way, we're here for some extra support.

During the ongoing pandemic, worries about isolation, mental ill-health and family are common. The knock-on effects of social distancing and lockdowns, and the fear of being exposed to the virus has resulted in some callers appearing increasingly distressed, hopeless, and feeling trapped without the support they need.

Whatever you're going through, you can call us any time, from any phone for FREE. If it feels too upsetting to talk about on the phone you can email us, and a Samaritans volunteer will answer.

If you are feeling more anxious and are finding things tough, the Samaritans Ireland website has lots of online resources and support. The Self-Help web app can help you keep track of how you are feeling, and offer recommendations for things you can do to help yourself cope, feel better and stay safe in a crisis. https://www.samaritans.org/ireland/how-we-can-help/ 24 Hour Freephone Helpline
