This presentation explores the intersection of mental health and firearm safety in Eastern Idaho, a predominantly rural region with limited healthcare access and high suicide rates. Through a community-oriented approach, the project assesses risk factors, including mental health stigma, firearm accessibility, and inadequate mental health resources. The intervention promotes safe firearm storage practices through education, partnerships with gun shops, and mental health integration into firearm safety training. The goal is to reduce firearm-related suicides among young adults by 20% over five years, measured through local health data and community engagement.
