NSSF’s Joe Bartozzi and Dr. Matt Miller from the U.S. Dept. of Veteran Affairs (VA) delve into their vital partnership aimed at tackling the pressing issue of veteran suicide. Discover the insights and strategies they are employing to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who have served our country. https://www.nssf.org/safety/suicide-prevention/va-afsp-nssf-partnership/ NSSF has also partnered with the VA as well as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) on a Secure Firearm Storage Toolkit designed to help prevent suicide among U.S. Veterans. The toolkit guides communities through the process of building coalitions to raise awareness about securely storing firearms when not in use. Firearms are used in half of all U.S. suicide deaths and nearly 70 percent of suicides among Veterans. Secure storage can put time and space between an individual and a firearm and help keep Veterans and their loved ones safe during a suicidal crisis.
