Samaritans Awareness Day raises awareness of the support Samaritans offer to people who are struggling, feeling isolated, or experiencing emotional distress. This is important for safeguarding adults because poor mental health, loneliness, or crisis can increase a person’s risk of harm, abuse, neglect, or self-neglect. Talking and listening can help people get support earlier.
