The mitigations probably are: free and accessible mental health counseling, shifting societal views of acceptable emotional openness, and normalizing conversations about depression and other struggles.
- bhpm 3y agoI agree and also better gun laws. States with stricter gun laws have fewer gun suicides. Just to make it clear how much I agree: everyone reading this, talk to your friends, especially male friends, about what you are going through and ask them what they are going through. Be there for them. Everyone needs this.
