WHEN YOU NEED HELP, CALL 2-1-1.
The Crisis Center of Tampa Bay offers help, hope and healing to all people experiencing life’s problems and challenges, big and small. The Center helps people throughout Hillsborough County cope with the devastating trauma of sexual or physical violence, domestic violence or abuse, depression and despair, substance abuse, financial problems, family issues and many other critical challenges.
Don’t mistake Vashon Thompson’s quiet personality for indecisiveness. He knows what he wants. Like many of the residents of Tampa’s Sulphur Springs neighborhood, Vashon wants a job. That’s why he walked into the Sulphur Springs Resource Center a few months ago. The Resource Center celebrated its one-year anniversary in April. Since it opened in 2009, more than 1,600 residents have used its services. They’ve taken GED classes and received legal aid. They’ve filed their taxes and received customer service training. They’ve brought their children for community nights and completed the census. Most of all, they’ve used the computers to create résumés and search for jobs.
