This is a project completed by my group at the London College of Communications when researching target audiences. The cars took ages to make so don't be too harsh lol :)
@CLASSICALJAJ And how does that make you feel then lol. Responses from Samaritans vary a lot. Some sound like they are reading a script and doing it badly. Others are very empathic and sucessful in helping callers explore how they feel. I think Samaritans try hard to get the right ppl and train them well (and they are all volunteers, not paid). But some volunteers do slip through the selection process and get on to the phones when they really need more training first though.
An excellent advert, manages to put across what Samaritans does without using words, which is appropriate because for Samaritans listening is far more important than talking. As for people saying Samaritans cut off contact without warning, it simply doesn't happen. In the extreme cases when contact is stopped, there will be a very good reason, there will have been a LOT of consultation, and the caller will always have been told why.

Lovely advert - in reality - Samaritans are shite ! What you get is "And how does that make you feel" ! A proforma response to everything !
