To talk to someone by email, please email  jo@samaritans.org

  A free and confidential service, which normally responds within 24 hours. Just click on the email address or copy it to your email program. The English language service is run by the UK Samaritans.  The mailbox is read every day of the year by trained volunteers - all using the pseudonym "Jo".  We try to reply to every email within 24 hours. If you don't receive a quick reply, it's probably because of an Internet bottleneck or technical difficulties.  People who send messages to Jo are guaranteed confidentiality.
