	Silent phonecalls....?	554 Tage her
	A large number of phonecalls to us are silent. We know that sometimes it's really difficult to say how you're feeling, or describe the situation you're in. Getting the time and privacy to have a conversation may also be difficult. An option is to send an email to us instead - jo@samaritans.org Emails are answered by the same volunteers that talk via phone - and treated in the same manner as a confidential phonecall. We will reply as soon as we can.

	Our Name	647 Tage her
	Our name is an historical accident. When The Daily Mirror (UK newspaper) first found out about our service, they described the volunteers as "Good Samaritans", and the name stuck. You do not have to be religious in any way to volunteer or to get in touch. Volunteers do not impose their own religious, political or philosophical beliefs on people who get in touch. (From our FAQ section on the website : http://www.samaritans.org//about_sam...

	Why do people call us?	675 Tage her
	People call us for all reasons, but generally it's because they're distressed in some way. They might be feeling really upset, depressed, confused, worthless, isolated or scared and need someone to talk to who doesn't know them, so that they won't feel judged or embarrassed. You can say as much or as little as you like, when you're ready. The volunteer will listen and might suggest 'ways forward' (such as other helplines or sources of professional help), but they will not tell you what to do. Decisions are always yours. Visit www.samaritans.org for more on who we are and what we do.
