They also have an email service - send an email to the address,
jo@samaritans.org. They usually respond within 24 hours, and it is fully
confidential, all done via email. But the main Befrienders website has a

You won't be able to phone because it is based in London (but so worth
it...they are the leading European authorities on mental illness in young
adults...). However, they offer help via email, and live webchat every
night from 7:00 - 10:00 pm. It used to be UK time, and I think it still
is...which would make it 3:00pm - 6:00 pm our time.

Another great UK website.
