"PACT will address systems challenges experienced by staff, safety threats to ED patients with mental illness and substance use disorders, and known structural biases against marginalized individuals during decisions in use of restraints for behavioral crises in the ED.~The PACT intervention includes a peer support service component to deliver patient-centered, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care to patients presenting with behavioral complaints in the ED and experiencing distress."
