What is a Samaritans volunteer?

Samaritans are volunteers who provide confidential emotional support to people experiencing feelings of distress, despair, or suicidal thoughts. They operate helplines, email, and sometimes in-person services to listen and offer non-judgmental support, helping individuals find a way forward. Samaritans do not give advice or tell people what to do; instead, they focus on listening and understanding without judgment. Their mission is to reduce feelings of isolation and disconnection that can lead to suicide.

What is the difference between Samaritans vs Crisis Counselors?

AspectSamaritansCrisis Counselors
CredentialsVolunteer training, basic mental health awarenessCertified in counseling or psychology, specialized training
Work EnvironmentVolunteer helpline, community outreachClinical settings, mental health clinics, hospitals
Employer & IndustryCharity organizations, mental health supportHealthcare providers, mental health services

While both roles focus on mental health support, Samaritans primarily operate as volunteer helpline responders providing emotional support, whereas Crisis Counselors are often trained professionals working in clinical or healthcare settings to provide specialized mental health interventions.

How long is the training for Samaritans?

Training for Samaritans volunteers typically lasts around 6 to 12 weeks and includes classroom sessions, practical exercises, and ongoing support. Volunteers learn active listening skills, crisis intervention techniques, and are usually required to complete a certain number of supervised shifts before working independently.

What emotional challenges do Samaritans volunteers face, and how does the organization support them?

Samaritans volunteers often handle emotionally charged conversations, which can be both rewarding and challenging. Listening to individuals in distress requires empathy and resilience, and it's not uncommon for volunteers to occasionally feel emotionally affected after shifts. To support their well-being, Samaritans provides comprehensive training, regular debriefing sessions, and access to peer and professional support networks. Volunteers are encouraged to share their experiences and seek help when needed, fostering a supportive and understanding team environment.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a Samaritans volunteer?

To thrive as a Samaritans volunteer, you need strong listening skills, emotional resilience, and a willingness to support people in distress, typically gained through comprehensive in-house training rather than formal qualifications. Familiarity with call-handling systems, confidentiality protocols, and secure messaging platforms is important for day-to-day operations. Compassion, non-judgmental attitude, and the ability to maintain calm under pressure are critical soft skills for supporting vulnerable individuals. These abilities ensure that volunteers can provide effective emotional support and maintain the trust and safety of those reaching out for help.

Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Samaritan's Purse Statement of Faith:
  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17.
  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.
  • We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.
  • We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:89; Titus 3:4-7.
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10.
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15.
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the church. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23.
  • We believe that the ministry of evangelism and discipleship a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.
  • We believe Gods plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female. Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9.
  • We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism. Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15.
  • We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen. Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10.
  • We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person biological male or female. These two distinct but complementary sexes together reflect the image and likeness of God. Rejection of ones biological sex is a rejection of Gods merciful design and creative order. Genesis 1:26-27;1 Corinthians 6:9; Deuteronomy 22:5
