On the 24th of July (24/7) it is Samaritans Awareness Day. It’s on this day to remind people that they are available 24/7. Throughout July, Samaritans will also be running their awareness-raising campaign called Talk to Us. They will be holding events at their branches to highlight that they are there day and night for people struggling to cope.
You can support the campaign by helping raise awareness on social media by using the hashtags #TalkToUs #SamaritansAwarenessDay.
By providing a safe place to open-up, Samaritans allow people the chance to stop bottling up their emotions. Many people feel troubled by their emotions and may feel that talking about them is a sign of weakness. Samaritans help combat this by providing a judgement free service.
We never choose when to have mood dips, and it can happen during an unconventional time, which is why the 24/7 helpline is there. No matter the time, Samaritans are always there.
