WATERTOWN - The Parent Stress Line is based right in Watertown, but they take calls from all over.
"We're Massachusetts based, but we do get calls from all over the country. I think we got a call the other day from somebody in Nigeria," said Sarah Brinley, Executive Director of Parents Helping Parents.
This small non-profit is filling a big need, providing emotional support to parents and caregivers when they feel stressed and overwhelmed. Trained, volunteer call takers are available 24/7.
"There's just somebody there to listen, to not judge, to provide whatever type of emotional support somebody might need and to come up with a plan," said Brinley.
At this particular time of year, they anticipate an increase in calls.
