Life can be tough sometimes. But everyday Samaritans volunteers are there to listen and help people work through whatever is troubling them.
Last year the Samaritans helpline received over 30,000 calls from people dealing with issues like relationship breakdown, job loss, financial concerns, bereavement, loneliness, depression and suicidal thoughts.
A lot of people who call the Samaritans are in crisis and “don’t feel like life is worth living anymore”. Samaritans create a safe space for people to talk about what’s troubling them and just how awful they are feeling. We ask questions to help callers consider their situation more objectively and help them to see other options that may be available to them. Our job is to give them hope.
Please support the efforts of this amazing group of runners and givealittle to help Samaritans prevent suicide in New Zealand.
We all know life can be tough sometimes and how important it is to be able to talk things through when you're struggling with your mental health. Samaritans offers completely confidential 24/7 support for those in need.
Join us for Wellington's Walk for Mental Health, around Wellingtons iconic Cello Basin Reserve, on Saturday 15th February 2025.
We are raising vital funds for Samaritans Wellington and the Lifting the Lid on Youth Mental Health Project in Wellington.
Funds raised will be donated to the Samaritans to help pay the costs associated with running their 24/7 helpline.
