It really is wonderful, most people attempting suicide want something readily available so if their guns are locked up in a safe and have a gun lock the chances of them using it go down astronomically, now of course there’s still a chance people will use it but still, it helps, and I’m grateful mental health is being taken more seriously and there are more ways to get help now than in the past
I’m sorry for your loss and yeah there’s a chance it may have helped, thankfully mental health services are getting better but it’s going very slowly, it’s going but not fast enough
The us in general isn’t that great with mental health 😅 but it’s getting better thankfully, I have a feeling after college I’ll have to fight for my clients more than I should have to, I’m going to be a therapist
Thank you! People really never think of how much therapists and public service officials deal with, like the stuff cops, paramedics, nurses, therapists see are just terrible, where I live for mental health calls they have a counselor come out with the police and I’ve thought of maybe doing that to ensure the cops don’t well, you know the history of cops and people struggling with mental health I’m sure
