Emotional Support and Suicide Prevention

South Wales Valleys Branch of Samaritans is a relatively new branch which covers a large geographical area comprising Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen, Merthyr Tidfil, Caerphilly, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Garw and Neath. These are experience the highest levels of social deprevation and as a result the poorest mental health statistics and highest rates of suicide in Wales.

General Email: enquiries@valleys-samaritans.org (do not send messages via this platform as they are not monitored reguarly).

We have a different way of delivering services as we physically go in to our communities where there is the greatest need.

Samaritans' vision is that fewer people die by suicide.

We do this by

Providing emotional support, both on our national telephone lines but also directly in our communities.
Raising Awareness of the importance of reducing suicide and what you can do to help
Support Help-Seeking by sharing expertise and understanding the needs of people who contact us.
Learning and Development with free resources and educational and work-based workshops.

Our organisation is lead by over 20,000 volunteers, all fully trained and supported and always valued.
