Guns and Mental Health by Walk the Talk America
An honest and comprehensive discussion about guns and mental health. Two highly stigmatized cultures that have long stood across from each other, refusing to collaborate whenever tragedy strikes. That trend ends now. For firearms owners, clinicians, and the curious public.
Guns and Mental Health by Walk the Talk America
Episode 17: "At the Intersection..." webinar recap
One of WTTA's most important efforts involves training mental health professionals in firearms culture. This competency training helps clinicians better understand the foundational principles of why people own guns so that they can create a more welcoming, non-judgmental environment for those who want mental health care to get it without nervousness or suspicion.
The classes will be a full-blown certificate course in three parts, with this summary covering part one and its last four iterations. Jake and Mike discuss the benefits, the purpose, the increasing attendance, and what the gun community can do to support the ongoing efforts.
