Befrienders

This is a non-profit organization which serves as counselor and listener to those who are in despair. "With the assistance of professional psychiatrists and psychologists from University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, The Befrienders KL was established.The Befrienders is a non profit organization modeled after Samaritans, a movement started in London in 1953. Since then, the movement has spread to about 40 countries and now has 300 centers around the world" (Source:befrienders).

I used to look for such assistance where i could turn to. Sometimes, the problems are so embarrassing that you are not able to disclose with your close ones. This is a good place to turn to. They claimed to protect the confidentiality of info disclosed. If you need to find someone to talk to: -

Tel: 03-79568144 or 03-79568145
E-mail us at sam@befrienders.com.org
Address: 95 Jalan Templer, 46000, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

I thought I always found this befrienders at classified advert section of newspapers. I thought it is just another matchmaking company.




"If you would like to volunteer, or for general information about organisations in other countries please go to the section 'Find A Helpline' to find the country you need. If you're in distress and want to talk to someone via email, please email the Samaritans UK/ROI email emotional support service on jo@samaritans.org, or to find a local center in your country visit our Need to talk pages which detail other organisations providing telephone, email and face to face services."(Source: befrienders.org)
