Save A Life was developed as an innovative way of reducing gun violence in communities that bear the brunt of gun violence disproportionately. Save A Life teaches basic firearm safety skills such as safe storage and gun handling techniques, as well as Question Persuade, Refer (QPR), an evidence-based suicide prevention course in a virtual setting. Practices shared within the training are proven to reduce the risk of gun violence by preventing accidental death and injury, suicide, and violent crime.
