ONE Lexington Broadens Gun Prevention to Suicides and Accidents

ONE Lexington is broadening its gun-violence prevention work beyond interpersonal conflicts to include firearm safety, accidental shootings and suicide prevention. At a community forum, leaders sought input from residents and heard perspectives from public safety and health officials, survivors and others to help shape future programs and support. The initiative says its expanded capacity and reported declines in conflict-related gun violence make this a timely moment to address additional risks, with an emphasis on listening to affected families and preventing harm before it occurs.
