Rather than work separately to address issues related to mental health and guns, Mental Health America (MHA) and Walk the Talk America (WTTA) announced Jan. 22 a partnership to prevent suicide death by firearms and create materials to conduct outreach to gun ranges across the country. In joining forces to combat suicide, both organizations will share information about depression and warning signs that someone may be considering suicide.
