After unexpectedly losing her brother Grant to su***de, Devin was left wondering “Why do people take their lives?”

Devin didn’t believe that people like Grant — a successful chef with many friends — took their lives.

Being a mother pushed Devin to search for answers, allowing her to explore resilience, su***de prevention, and self-efficacy.

Gun Storage Check Week takes place from September 1-7 and is a critical reminder that firearm owners and people that live in households with fi****ms must take action to protect against su***de. 💙

Over half of all su***de deaths in the U.S. occur with a firearm. Yet we know there are measures that can reduce the risk of su***de for someone in crisis. From offering su***de prevention education for retailers, range owners and fi****ms owners to encouraging safe storage, there are actions we can take to save lives.
