Radiohead back Samaritans e-counselling service

LONDON, UK (Radiohead Official Website) - Radiohead are backing a new Samaritans counselling service, which lets people email in with their problems.
The aim is to target teenagers and young men, who have trouble talking through their feelings on the phone.

Drummer Phil Selway, who has been a volunteer for years, believes anyone can need the Samaritans at some point in their life.

Phil told Radio 1: "There are some alarming statistics. I think it's the World Health Organisation that say by 2020 they think the biggest killer will be depression. So you have those very stark figures and then you suddenly think.
Something like the Samaritans which is talking about getting feelings out into the open and actually looking for emotional support - well, suddenly it has a very important role in community and our society."
The band have also donated a live track and video to the Samaritans official website.
