Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales

Preface by Michael Palin

Listening helps us be there for others, to support them in tough times, and to strengthen our relationships with partners, family, friends and colleagues.

From

opening up a conversation with someone who might be struggling, to how

to use gentle encouragement to help others share their stories, How to Listen

demonstrates the power of listening without judgement and draws on the

extensive experience of Samaritans in offering practical advice to apply

to your own life.

Friendly and approachable, with a preface by

Michael Palin, it includes helpful tips from trained Samaritans on how

to talk about how we are feeling, as well as how to listen to one

another in a way that can prevent day-to-day concern or worry from

escalating into more complex emotions.

Katie Colombus (Author) Samaritans was founded in 1953 by vicar Chad Varah, who wanted to offer a listening service to anyone who was struggling and contemplating suicide. There are now more than 20,000 Samaritans volunteers in 201 centres across the UK and Ireland, taking calls, emails and text messages from people who need to talk about what they're going through. Rather than being a charity associated with suicide, they are working to become a friendly and reassuring presence that helps each of us to reach out when we need help, in the hope of preventing people reaching the crisis point that we might traditionally associate with them as a charity. Campaigns such as The Big Listen, Real Stories, Real Lives and Brew Monday are a part of this drive.
