Colorado's Freedom Memorial is a place of quiet reflection, listing the names of every Coloradan killed in war.
A new initiative is helping some Denver-area hospitals get lifesaving equipment into the hands of veterans who are at risk for harming themselves.
Now, as clinical supervisor of the crisis assessment team at AdventHealth Porter, Frame sees veterans come through regularly who are at risk for harming or killing themselves, and are in need of help. Here's how the program works. Veterans who enter an AdventHealth emergency department and agree to the program will be discharged with a gun safe. Their weapons will go into the safe, and a loved one will get the code to unlock it.
For veterans in crisis, Frame said this can be a critical tool to keep them safe until they're in a better spot with their mental health.
