Of our deaths by firearms are suicide. A lot of discussion has to occur about how does one recognize in himself or herself when one is at risk . When is it a good idea to limit our access to firearms because so many people have those that they are at significant risk. When their brain health is impaired there is significant risk of using a gun to harm themselves and these are the kinds of discussions that i want people to have to be aware that our thoughts can become lethal if we do not get treatment and we do not. Host i know that is the main reason why he decided to speak out and i know you have spoken with many families. Do you want to talk a little bit about the response to the book and what you have heard from people and now that the book has been published . I believe there are many people who have been upset that the book and its certainly an upsetting topic that a lot of people dont want to relive the tragedy one more time. For the most part the feedback ive gotten has been very positive and one of the things that has been very gratifying for me is that many people thanked me for writing the book which i appreciate deeply and many people have said to me i think every parent, it especially every parent of a teen or twain should. This book. I hope, my hope is that by reading the book they wont lose a child as i did, that they will see that something can be terribly wrong and not just write it off. The fact that people are reading it and that they are talking about it is very gratifying and what i hoped to accomplish. Host i know that we appreciate the time and energy that you put into this book in particular the conversations about how people should be talking with their teens, asking questions he talked about before about what is causing this and getting some of the issues with young people because of the risk here so i think its really important what you have done and appreciate the time and energy you have put into this and putting yourself out there with the writing of this book. I know as you say some people always find criticisms or difficulties in hearing about these topics. Is there anything we havent covered that you want to talk about or make sure people know in terms of your work or any messages that you want people to have . Guest the only thing i will add is that Much Research needs to be done, much support needs to go on and i encourage people to support Mental Health organizations, Suicide Prevention organizations, Research Organizations because there is so much yet we need to know to make us all safer and to make us have more fulfilling and Productive Lives and i think talking with people is one step but i think helping the nonprofits out there is something all of us can do. Host thank you so much for spending time with me today. I today. I appreciate it very much. Guest thank you very much
