Email befriending
English Language:
jo@samaritans.org - A free and confidential service, which normally responds within 24 hours. Just click on the email address or copy it to your email program.
We recommend that you read the following before using the English language service:
- The English language service is run by the UK Samaritans.
- Our mailbox is read every day of the year by trained volunteers - all using the pseudonym "Jo".
- We try to reply to every email within 24 hours. If you don't receive a quick reply, it's probably because of an Internet bottleneck or technical difficulties.
- People who send messages to Jo are guaranteed confidentiality.
