Our Response to the Growing Opioid Epidemic

President & CEO Clara Reynolds is joined by a Community Paramedecine paramedic to share how the Crisis Center is supporting the Tampa area with the growing substance misuse problem.



Finding Help for Substance Misuse

Tyler’s girlfriend called 988 seeking help for him. He was struggling with a severe Fentanyl addiction and needed support. Thankfully, the Intervention Specialist who answered the call was able to connect them to the Recovery Navigation team immediately.

Recognizing 211 Day

Each year, 211 day is celebrated on February 11th. We held agency-wide celebrations to recognize our Gateway Contact Center staff who are available 24/7 to answer 211 calls, among several other lines. This team works hard to ensure that no one in our community has to face crisis alone. Last year they answered 60,009 calls to just the 211 line.
