In Episode 2 of the GCGC: Stronger Together Podcast, Tara Fincher and Garrett Grimm sit down with Bryan from Congruence Mental Health in Bozeman, Montana to discuss the intersection of mental health, suicide prevention, and firearm safety.

The conversation explores why collaboration between mental health professionals and firearm instructors matters, how safety planning works when someone is experiencing suicidal ideation, and why education can replace fear with knowledge. Bryan shares insights from his work as a licensed counselor and explains how the upcoming “What About the Guns?” workshop aims to help clinicians better support clients who own firearms.
