My Story…
The Samaritans of Cape Cod is an organization my mother has worked with closely for the past two years. It is a great organization with ambitious goals to provide a multitude of services to help those who have been struggling with or affected by suicide. It is something that has unfortunately been a part of my life. While Samaritans have a great mission, they need funds from people like you to operate and continue to reach out to those who need help the most.
Description
The Samaritans on Cape Cod and the Islands is a nonprofit organization that provides support to people experiencing crises. Our mission is suicide prevention: we are dedicated to helping people contemplating suicide or personally affected by suicide.
In 2020 (the most recent year for which data is available), there were 615 deaths by suicide in Massachusetts (a rate of 8.7 per 100,000) and Barnstable County had the third highest suicide rate in Massachusetts (14.4/100,000).
For those who may be struggling, grieving, or wanting to understand how to better support those in their lives, we have programs to help.
Crisis Lines are available 24/7 to anyone looking for support. There is no reason too great or too small to call – whatever the reason, we’re here to listen. The lines are free, anonymous and confidential. Reach us at 508-548-8900 or dial 988.
Community Education programs provide free materials for tabling events and host educational presentations and trainings to help community members learn about suicide prevention strategies.
Grief Services programs are available for those who have experienced the death of someone close to them by suicide. These resources help to provide loss survivors with various avenues for connection in ways and at times that are right for them.
Outreach Services programs provide direct support to specific at-risk populations. Currently, our Senior Outreach program is available to individuals who are 55 years or older, allowing an opportunity to receive weekly phone personal phone support from a matched volunteer.
Your support of Team Samaritans will help us continue to provide these lifesaving programs and services to those who reach out for help.
