Yesterday was #SamaritansAwarenessDay but we’d still like you to know, not everyone knows what to say when they answer the call.
It’s OK, we can ask a few gentle questions to help guide you through. Find out more 👇

It’s #SamaritansAwarenssDay and we’re back with some more answers…
💬 Are Samaritans religious?
We're not religious. The link between our name and any religious text is completely coincidental. Our listeners will never impose any personal attitudes or beliefs on you.
💬 Do I have to be suicidal to call?
Not everyone knows that you don’t have to feel suicidal to talk to us. We’re here for anyone who is having hard time 📱 116 123 #LeedsSamaritans

Samaritans Awareness Day is on the 24th July!
This week we’ll be sharing facts and busting myths about Samaritans, and we’d love you to join in too.
We challenge you to tell one person something new you’ve learned about the Samaritans’s! Let’s build awareness together 💚

Father’s Day is tomorrow 💚
Tomorrow can also bring difficult or mixed emotions. Social media can sometimes make those feelings feel even heavier, so it’s okay to step away and take some time for yourself.
If you need someone to talk to, Samaritans are here 24/7 on 116 123.
It’s #FreshVeggiesDay 🥬🧅🥕🥦
Taking care of ourselves can include the small things too, like adding fresh vegetables to our meals 💚
What fresh vegetables will you work into your diet today?
Festivals can be incredible, but they can also feel overwhelming.
For over 50 years, Festival Samaritans have provided listening support for festival-goers, crew, artists and volunteers across the UK.
To continue this work, we need your support. 💚

This #WorldTurtleDay, here’s a gentle reminder:
It’s okay to take things slowly. 🐢
Progress doesn’t have to be fast to matter. Be kind to yourself, take one step at a time, and remember, support is always there when you need it 💚
This #WorldBeeDay, we’re thinking about the power of community 🐝
Bees thrive when they work together,and people do too. A kind word, a check-in, or simply listening can make a real difference to someone struggling.
You don’t have to carry things alone. 💚
Action for all of us.
This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, let’s keep the momentum going and support each other and call for real change so everyone can stay well 💚
