  1. What I appreciated back in the 80s when I did a ten year stint as a Samaritan helper and branch director, was the emphasis on listening (rather than counselling), and the importance of never so much as hinting at personal beliefs, or lack of, in the exchange. Glad to see this principle still enshrined in its current ‘nature of services’ policy summary - “Volunteers will not impose their own convictions, or influence callers, in regards to politics, philosophy, or religion.”
