Firearms & Suicide in the Military-Connected Community: 5 Things Medical Professionals Need to Know, powered by PsychArmor, is narrated by two clinical psychologists. In this short, engaging course, Dr. Ted Bonar and Dr. Heidi Kraft discuss the importance of including conversations about lethal means accessibility – specifically firearms – during safety planning in all types of clinical encounters. They define the scope of the problem, dispel some widely held misconceptions, and explain why military and Veterans gun owners have unique beliefs about weapons, crisis and safe storage. Clinicians will understand the importance of the intersection between military culture and the culture of firearm owners, and approach their Veteran patients with confidence around these critically important conversations.
