St Helens Samaritans on Hand if You're Feeling Low this Christmas

IF you are feeling low this festive period the Samaritans will be avaliable for support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
This season, Samaritans expect more calls and emails than ever before from the distressed and stressed.
Local volunteer, Dez from St Helens said: "For some people the bright lights of Christmas can actually emphasise the problems they have. Especially if people are on their own, it might trigger feelings of intense loneliness and isolation or painful memories about the loss of someone close. Or for those with large families there might be worries about the financial burden."
Dez added: "Even when we are surrounded by family and friends we might still feel the need to speak to someone who doesn't know us. It's important to remember that however low or stressed out you feel there is always someone at the end of line. Samaritans is totally confidential and non-judgemental."
You can contact the Samaritans by phone 08457 90 90 90 or email jo@samaritans.org for 24 hour support.
