The Samaritans of Rhode Island - (401) 272-4044 or (800) 365-4044
The Samaritan’s 24 Hour Confidential Hotline/Listening Line has trained volunteers since 1977 to use non-judgemental, non-religious befriending skills to help callers of all ages who are hopeless, alone, suicidal or seeking information to help a family member or friend.
The line is a self-help model. Callers in need of someone to listen choose to call their line.
There is no formal caller-agency/volunteer relationship. They provide volunteer befriending and listening. They do not provide professional counseling or case management. Often times, however, talking to a Samaritan can be the gateway to professional care. If you talk to a Samaritan volunteer, maybe you will then feel comfortable talking to a licensed medical or mental health professional.
