Trigger locks are super effective. They are the most effective way to keep your firearm safe, but when used in combination with something else like a safe or a lockbox, it's definitely better than nothing.
What if a simple lock could save a life? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos sits down with Christy Jones and Carly Kump from Intermountain Healthcare to discuss the critical role of gun safety in suicide prevention. Christy and Carly shed light on how small actions, like locking up firearms, can provide crucial moments for someone's suicidal thoughts to pass.
They delve into the importance of recognizing warning signs, such as changes in behavior or eating habits, and how to approach loved ones who might be struggling. Carly explains how trigger locks and lockboxes can create a safer environment, offering practical tips for implementing these measures effectively. The conversation also touches on fostering open discussions about mental health, particularly with teens and young adults, and the resources available for those in crisis.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to make a difference in suicide prevention and mental well-being.
