Our Vision<\/span> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe want to elevate the conversation around firerams and medication and how they relate to suicide, and our vision is to have all firearms and medications under lock and key and outside of the home when people within it are in crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Safer Homes came together around a common goal: reducing suicide in Washington state. Our partners include firearms retailers and advocacy organizations, health care and mental health providers, suicide prevention experts and more. The Safer Homes Task Force was created through legislation passed in 2016-17, and was re-authorized in 2022. It is co-chaired by representatives from the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs and Forefront Suicide Prevention, UW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Safer Homes Task Force launched the Safer Homes, Suicide Aware public health campaign on Sept. 10, 2017, World Suicide Prevention Day. The Safer Homes Suicide Aware campaign is run by Forefront Suicide Prevention, UW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
