About Samaritans Crisis Line

Samaritans is a Western Australian based not for profit organisation working towards a society in which fewer people die by suicide. The Samaritans Crisis Line is available to callers both locally and nationally, and to all individuals, from all walks of life.

As an organisation, Samaritans believe people who are experiencing feelings of distress and despair, including those who may be at risk of suicide, have the right to receive anonymous, non-judgmental, non-religious emotional support, every day from specially trained volunteers.
