CREATING FIREARMS SAFETY BROCHURES FOR SURVIVORS:WHAT COMMUNITY PROGRAMS SHOULD CONSIDER


This is a toolkit that assists community-based advocates and coordinated community response teams in creating customizable brochures for survivors who want to remove firearms from respondents in protection order cases.
