Safer Homes at the Vancouver Gun Show: Dec. 15-16

Posted on
Safer Homes, Suicide Aware is making an appearance at Big Top Promotion’s Vancouver Gun Show. This outreach is historic, as half of all suicides are carried out by firearm. Gun shows, a gathering space for many in the firearms community, are the ideal place to have a life-saving conversation about suicide prevention.  Locking devices for both firearms and medications will be provided to attendees at no cost by Safer Homes.

Sat. 9am –6pm

Sun. 9am – 4pm

Free to WAC members, $13.00 for adult non-members, All active and retired military free with ID, under 18 free with adult.
Get tickets here.

Medication locking devices as well as firearm locking devices will be distributed for free.

“Safer Homes” signifies a home in which lethal means are unavailable to a suicidal individual. “Suicide Aware” signifies the universal need to educate people about suicide prevention and action steps everyone can take today.

Putting a practical barrier between a suicidal person and the means they plan to use to end their life can interrupt their path to suicide.
