Episode 17: "At the Intersection..." webinar recap
Show Notes

One of WTTA's most important efforts involves training mental health professionals in firearms culture. This competency training helps clinicians better understand the foundational principles of why people own guns so that they can create a more welcoming, non-judgmental environment for those who want mental health care to get it without nervousness or suspicion.

The classes will be a full-blown certificate course in three parts, with this summary covering part one and its last four iterations. Jake and Mike discuss the benefits, the purpose, the increasing attendance, and what the gun community can do to support the ongoing efforts.
