The Crisis Center’s 211 hotline operates 24\/7 and 365 days a year.<\/p>

What they’re saying:<\/p>

“It could be a mother with the loss of a child,” Amanda Gunter, with the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay said.\u00a0“You might not have the same relationship as your mom with your other siblings, it could be like that estranged relationship with your mom, or vice versa with the mom and their child.”<\/p>

Staff say they get calls for a number of different reasons.<\/p>

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n <\/div>

“It might be someone on our end helping you, like say, ‘Well, you, know, let’s formulate a plan. What are those boundaries going to look like? What do you think are going to be some triggers and how can you overcome those?” Gunter said.<\/p>

From children to moms, doctors are trying to break down the stigma surrounding different mental health struggles.<\/p>

Doctors at Tampa General Hospital see a lot of women struggling with post-partum depression and anxiety, in particular.<\/p>
