Samaritans Awareness Day

Samaritans Awareness Day is an annual event that takes place on July 24. The day is dedicated to raising awareness of Samaritans, a suicide prevention charity that provides emotional support to people in distress.

Samaritans Awareness Day was started by Samaritans in 2007. The charity wanted to create a day to highlight the importance of their work and to encourage people to reach out for help if they are struggling.

The goals of Samaritans Awareness Day are to:

• Raise awareness of Samaritans and their work.
• Encourage people to reach out for help if they are struggling.
• Break down the stigma around mental health.
