Objective:
The GVRC was funded by DMHAS (total costs approximately $120,000) to develop two webinars on firearm suicide prevention – one geared towards the general public and one geared towards health care providers. Executive Director Michael Anestis, Ph.D. developed and filmed both webinars in Fall 2020 and the videos are now posted on the DMHAS website as a resource for New Jersey residents and health care providers. In addition, Dr. Anestis and GVRC postdoctoral fellow John Gunn, Ph.D. provided trainings on firearm suicide prevention and the New Jersey extreme risk protection order law to individuals attending Zero Suicide Academy sessions across New Jersey.
