Befrienders Worldwide

​

Our members and volunteers around the world provide confidential support to people in emotional crisis or distress, or those close to them. The main aim of the centres is to give emotional support to people when they are suicidal. The centres also alleviate misery, loneliness, despair and depression by listening to anyone who feels they have nowhere else to turn. The people who run the centres – befrienders – are volunteers who have all been specially trained. The work is non-political and non-religious, and volunteers do not try to impose their convictions on anyone. They simply listen.
