Welcome to Samaritans in Spain, operated by Costa Blanca Samaritans. We offer a free, completely confidential,
non-judgmental emotional support service for
any English speaker of any age who may be experiencing distress or
despair, or who might be feeling suicidal. We believe that whatever
problems someone is dealing with, whether large or small, they do not have to be
alone with them.
To contact Samaritans in Spain, please call(0034) 902 88 35 35 We are here for you between 8pm and midnight every evening, 365 days of the year, together with Monday and Tuesday mornings from 10.00am to 12 noon. Calls
are charged at Telefonica’s national call rate and SiS receives no benefit from
operating a national number, we have this as it means people can call us from
anywhere in Spain and reach us on a single number. We have this regardless of which
geographical SiS branch is “on-duty.”
