Samaritans Help Troubled Facebook Users......!!!

The Samaritans & Facebook are teaming up to allow users to get help for friends they think might be having serious problems.

Facebook has 30 million users in the UK & anyone concerned about people struggling to cope or with possible suicidal thoughts will be able to get help through the Help Centre.

The feature enables users to report specific content, like status updates or wall posts.

For instance, typing the word "worried" into the help centre search engine will bring up a list of places to find advice as well as the option to report suicidal content.

Once a report about suicidal content has been processed, the distressed person will be sent a message with information on how they can contact the Samaritans if they need help.

Samaritans cheif executive Catherine Johnstone said: "We want to remind people that if a friend says that life isn't worth living, they should always be taken seriously.

"Facebook is a part of daily life for so many of us & we must make sure that people online have support when they need it."
