As we head into June, Gun Violence Prevention Month, we are proud to share the new SAFE Media Communications Guide, intendedhelp healthcare providers feel more confident and prepared when engaging with media and speaking at events related to gun violence prevention or firearm injury prevention.
Remember to approach the subject of firearm injury prevention with a(n):
Apolitical, culturally humble approach
Education focus and how critical for physicians to educate patients about the importance of secure firearm storage to keep loved ones safe.
June is Gun Violence Prevention Month and here at SAFE we encourage you to:
Wear orange under your white coat, or your SAFE scrub throughout the month to show your support for firearm injury prevention.
Reach out to your local newsperson or media source to offer to speak about the importance of securely storing firearms, using the communication guide above.

SAFE created a guide to make it easier for any SAFE Chapter or group of healthcare providers or students to begin the process of proposing and passing a resolution through a state medical association.
This guide is based on the experience of Texas A&M Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine’s SAFE chapter. They led a resolution to support firearm safety education in medical school and residency which was ultimately adopted by the Texas Medical Association at the TexMed 2026 Conference.
The full process took about six months and included multiple drafts, two rounds of formal feedback, student voting, and final approval with amendments at the conference.
This guide can be adapted to other state medical associations.
