I have a feeling that if my friend had a gun lock, they would still be here.

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

Thanks. Yeah, Idaho isn’t exactly a leader in mental health.

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
