Samaritans's mission is to reduce the incidence of suicide. We do this by providing free services in greater Boston and Metrowest communities that alleviate despair, isolation, distress and suicidal feelings among individuals in our community, 24 hours a day; by educating the public about suicide prevention; and by working to reduce the stigma associated with suicide. Our services emphasize confidential, nonjudgmental, and compassionate listening.
