I had the privilege of hosting Arm Veteran, John Cornelius, who brought incredible insight into the pressing issue of firearm safety and suicide prevention. As workplace leaders, it’s common to question why firearm safety matters within our professional environments. Yet, as John eloquently explained, the alarming statistics make a compelling case for proactive measures. When it comes to our youth, the urgency escalates: about 82% of young people who die by firearm suicide obtain these weapons from friends or family members. This is why creating safer homes through responsible firearm storage is a critical aspect of suicide prevention.
