Suicide Means Restriction: Important recommendations to help aid your child's safe return home

The purpose of this video is to educate families on the importance of securing unsafe items in their homes.  These items include medications, firearms and any other items that may pose a risk to their children. We know that children are impulsive and even a brief interruption is often enough to divert a potentially lethal action. Our goal is to reduce suicides and suicide attempts by means restriction.
