The call line (833-760-0330 and at taamod.org/call-line) will provide national phone-based support, legal information, advocacy, counseling, and referrals to vetted local and national experts nationwide. The call line is free, anonymous, and confidential. Callers may be currently experiencing harassment or abuse in their  workplace, or they may need support on an issue prior to the current pandemic- workplace situation.
