The main aim of the centers is to give emotional
support to people when they are suicidal. The
centers also alleviate misery, loneliness, despair
and depression by listening to anyone who feels
they have nowhere else to turn
The people who run the centers - befrienders
- are volunteers who have all specially trained.
The work is non-political and non-religious, and
volunteers do not try to impose their convictions
on anyone. They simply listen. The fact that someone
has been in contact with a center - whether by
telephone, letter, email or in a face-to-face
meeting - is strictly confidential. So too is
everything that the person tells a befriender.
Some callers prefer to remain anonymous - and
that's fine.
