Jake Phillips is 1 of almost 20,000 trained listening volunteers responding to calls for help. They're available, day or night, for anyone whoâs struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure. Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, weâre taking action to prevent the crisis. They give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. And they encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can save lives.They offer listening and support to people and communities in times of need. In prisons, schools, hospitals and on the rail network, Samaritans are working with people who are going through a difficult time and training others to do the same.Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritansâ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. Thatâs why they work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.Whatever youâre facing, a Samaritan will face it with you!Extra Stuff:Call 116 123 for freeSamaritans Website - https://www.samaritans.org00:00 Intro01:53 Who Are The Samaritans08:36 Being A Samaritan18:13 Types of Calls25:53 Support Tools32:15 Why Suicide Exists40:52 Social Credit Tangent46:07 Impact of Alcohol56:10 People Need Purpose01:00:45 Domestic Abuse01:05:50 Talking is a Superpower01:10:24 Psychological Safety01:15:43 Speaking to Pedophiles01:21:19 Safeguarding Issues01:24:29 Motivation For Joining01:26:54 Question to Ask Yourself#mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #equality #samaritans #hope #support Need a chat?
