Extreme Risk Protection Order

Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO) prevent individuals at high risk of harming themselves or others from accessing firearms by allowing family, household members, and police to obtain a court order when there is demonstrated evidence that the person poses a significant danger. Family or household members and Law Enforcement Officers may obtain an ERPO when there is evidence that the person poses a significant danger, including danger because of a dangerous mental health crisis or violent behavior. The purpose and intent is to reduce gun deaths and injuries through an order temporarily restricting a person's access to firearms. Extreme Risk Protection Orders are available statewide.

Suicide Awareness 

Research has shown that asking about suicide does not give someone the idea to die by suicide and it does not increase their risk of suicide. In fact, talking about suicide creates a safe space for children and teens to get information, and asking directly about suicide can be the difference between life and death. It offers relief to someone who may be struggling and helps them feel noticed and heard. Suicide can be an uncomfortable topic for people to talk about. While it might feel hard to ask, it is so important.
