Watch a replay of the “ At the Intersection of Firearms and Mental Health " event that was held Thursday featuring a frank discussion between gun owners, mental health advocates, retired law enforcement members and veterans at the UW Center for Civic Engagement in Wausau .

Join them for talk on suicide, firearms. This veteran and advocate know the toll too well.

The town hall is part of the series "Behind the Gun," which found that 71 out of every 100 gun deaths in Wisconsin each year are suicides and a record number of people had taken their lives with firearms in 2022. The state’s rural counties are getting hit hardest, places near Wausau and north. The series also explored how gun owners are working on solutions.
