About Samaritans Inc

Samaritans’ mission is to prevent suicide and offer hope and support to those affected. Founded in 1974, Samaritans is a suicide prevention agency providing compassionate and nonjudgmental befriending services to all in Greater Boston and across MA. Samaritans is an important part of the national network of suicide prevention crisis centers. We provide three programs: 24/7 Crisis Services (phone and text Helpline and dedicated teen text line), Community Education and Outreach, and Grief Support. Our signature practice of befriending those who call or text our toll-free Helpline, combined with tailored community education and outreach, ensures a caring listener is available to anyone with suicidal ideation or intent to self-injure.
