Within that violence were a number of murder-suicides that left too many voices still unheard, too many stories still untold, and too many families buried under neighborhood, community and national prejudice, discrimination and judgement. It’s long past time to bring this public health issue out of the shadows and shatter that taboo laden silence. Talk saves lives, so let’s talk On Friday, June 4th, Dr. Mike Anestis will clarify how and why firearms play a central role in firearm suicide. Dr. Anestis stated that, "Nearly two-thirds of all firearm deaths in the United States are suicide deaths and more than half of all suicide deaths are by firearms. This is true even though firearms are used in less than 5% of all suicide attempts. When someone in the US attempts suicide, they almost never use a firearm and yet, when someone in the US dies by suicide, often a firearm caused that death. Fortunately, we are learning more about how firearms increase the risk for suicide and what we can do to decrease that risk." Dr. Anestis will detail this information to provide a roadmap for how the US can meaningfully and sustainably reduce the national suicide rate through a direct and data driven focus on firearms.
