Episode 13 - Voluntary Self-Prohibition: A Tool to Prevent Firearm Suicide
This webinar provides an overview of voluntary self-prohibition laws as a promising new tool to prevent firearm suicide and discusses how and when clinicians can offer patients this tool in states where the law exists.
Bryan Barks discusses how her own lived experience with bipolar disorder and suicidality led her to become an advocate for voluntary self-prohibition laws. She also discusses research on patients' willingness to use this tool and discuss key characteristics of a willing patient.
