  • Summary

  • This episode sheds light on the role of the firearm industry, community partners, and healthcare workers in reducing firearm injury and suicide prevention in their community. Dr. Kristen Mueller is an Emergency Medicine Physician and Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. She is also the Co-Director of Life Outside Violence, a program based in St. Louis, Missouri, that helps patients injured from a stabbing, gunshot wound, or assault to receive treatment, support, and resources they need after experiencing intentional violence. Throughout the episode, she describes how firearm injury should be treated as a public health issue and addresses the misconceptions about firearm injury. Katie Ellison is the Project Director for the Safer Homes Collaborative located at the Missouri Institute for Mental Health. She shares the origins of a grassroots gun shop project that she has been involved in for the past three years across the state of Missouri. The episode concludes by hearing from firearm industry expert, John from Branson Cerakote. He details his involvement in a national program called Hold My Guns®, which allows a person in crisis to have a firearm-related retailer "hold their guns" until they are through a difficult time.
