The PARTNERS Act establishes a National Peer Support Warmline Program, creating a single, toll-free telephone number for people across the United States to call when experiencing mental health distress, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, or grief. Callers would be connected to a peer to receive empathetic support and resource referrals.

 

 

 

Research shows that African Americans, Latinos and other historically marginalized communities, continue to face disproportionate challenges within organizational processes and practices, from hiring practices, to supervision and evaluation. These processes have been proven to be impacted by the systemic inequity within the policies themselves, as well as the individual bias of application. Often these biases, rooted in systemic racism, can impact prejudicial behaviors, such as microaggressions and inequitable decision making related to staff of color causing trauma and moral injury.
