Pdf Summary
This document is a summary of a presentation titled "Rare but Real Risk of Firearms and Treatment of Individuals with SMI: Basic Principles for Practitioners," which is part of the Clinical Support System for Serious Mental Illness (CSS-SMI) initiative by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). <br /><br />The presentation focuses on the risks of firearm violence among individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) and provides guidance for practitioners in assessing and managing these risks. It highlights the prevalence of gun ownership in the US and the association between gun ownership and suicide, as well as the low percentage of violence attributable to individuals with mental illness. <br /><br />The presenter emphasizes the importance of conducting risk assessments for firearm violence and suicide, and provides screening questions for assessing these risks. They also discuss the role of risk-based gun removal laws, such as Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs) and Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), in reducing firearm-related harm. The presentation suggests that these laws provide additional tools for clinicians to address firearm risks and protect individuals with SMI from harm. <br /><br />The document also includes information about the presenters and their disclosures, as well as learning objectives for participants of the presentation. It concludes with a Q&A session opportunity for participants to ask questions to the presenters.
