“The Advocacy for Firearm Awareness and Risk training seeks to provide advocates with specific knowledge and tools to improve their comfort in and likelihood of speaking about firearms with their clients. This training will focus on identifying and building competencies, understanding why firearm discussions are a must, and becoming mindful of how the advocate’s biases may be a barrier to a victim’s safety. During Part 1 of this training, you will learn the “Why” behind the importance of being able to speak to clients about firearms and firearm storage. Learn about firearm laws and how advocates must be knowledgeable about the laws that impact their jurisdictions.”
