Initiating conversations with clients about reducing firearm-related risks can save lives. Here are steps you can take:
Let the client know you will ask for a safety check-in regarding the family’s current conflict/crisis.
Address firearm risks during this time, emphasizing dangers during conflicts/crisis.
Propose steps like voluntary off-site storage for risk reduction.
Assist clients who are legally prohibited from having firearms to comply with their order.
Key questions to ask to assess risk:
Do you have any concerns about your partner interfering with your relationship or time with your child(ren)?
Do you or your partner or other family members have access to firearms?
Have you talked with anyone about creating a safety plan to support protecting you and your child(ren) during any custody exchanges or visits with the other parent?
Have you learned about no contact, supervised, and virtual visitation possibilities or asked your lawyer about those options?
If your client has a DVRO/EPRO, have you followed up with the court to ensure it was properly filed?
