How can Samaritans help?<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We never choose when to have mood dips, and it can happen during an unconventional time, which is why the 24\/7 helpline<\/a> is there. No matter the time, Samaritans are always there.<\/p>\n

Being a student means having to deal with stress from many places. This can come from university applications or a hectic social life. Regardless, it\u2019s never a good idea to bottle up how you feel.<\/p>\n
