The Biden administration has rolled out a new strategy meant to reduce suicides among veterans and active military personnel that includes a campaign on safe firearm storage.

The White House announced Nov. 2 a coordinated effort between the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Justice, and Veterans Affairs to promote “lethal means safety” and increase suicide prevention care and research.
