This segment from Gun Talk Radio features Mike Sodini of Walk the Talk America discussing the organization's mission to bridge the gap between the firearms community and mental health professionals. Sodini, a suicide loss survivor, highlights the need for proactive mental health support within the gun community, addressing the stigma and fear of consequences that prevent individuals from seeking help. The organization focuses on innovative solutions, including free and anonymous mental health screening flyers distributed in gun shops and manufacturers' boxes, and continuing education courses for mental health professionals on gun culture and competence. Their efforts aim to educate both communities, foster trust, and counter restrictive legislation like HR 127, which they argue stigmatizes mental health.
