We are deeply grateful to our hotline volunteers who give their time during the holidays, because moments of crisis don’t take time off, and neither does compassion.

The holidays can highlight broken relationships, remind us of who’s missing, or add stress when life already feels full.

If you’re holding both good moments and difficult feelings, that doesn’t cancel either experience. You’re allowed to make space for what feels good and what feels hard, without judgment.

And you don’t have to carry it alone. If this season feels overwhelming, Samaritans of New York is here to listen 24/7 through our Crisis Hotline at 212-673-3000. Someone is always available to talk.

Our Story

Su***de is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. Most people would be shocked to learn that more Americans take their own lives each year than die by both AIDS and homicide combined. The good news is that, since the vast majority of people who attempt su***de do something to let others know their intentions before they act, su***de can be prevented through awareness, education and training. Samaritans Su***de Prevention Center is the local branch of the international humanitarian movement that has over 400 branches in 42 countries. A non-religious, non-profit organization, Samaritans is devoted to helping people who are in distress, in crisis, and feeling suicidal through our 24-hour confidential su***de prevention hotline, support groups for those who have lost a loved one to su***de and public education programs.
