Crisis Center of Tampa Bay

We are saddened to learn that a local first responder died by suicide on Thursday. We are here 24/7 if anyone would like to talk. Please call 988.

We distributed 211/988 cards to every public and charter school in Hillsborough county! Thank you Hillsborough County Public Schools for the opportunity and thank you Tampa Electric for sponsoring the printing of the cards!

Join us on Friday, September 20th and Saturday, September 21st during Suicide Prevention Month for compelling performances of Stan Zimmerman's "Right Before I Go" hosted by PowerStories theatre. The play recounts the final words of those lost to suicide as well as powerful stories of hope and resilience. A portion of the ticket sales support the Crisis Center, allowing us to continue offering support and resources to those in need. For tickets: https://lnkd.in/ePsjCDRe
