In interviews, researchers described gun violence as a "third rail" in science policy, up there with climate change. For decades, institutions feared Congress would strip them of of federal funding if they waded into what could be termed "advocacy research." But that 40-year pause may be ending.

And one of the best parts (given the shortage of providers) is that it's not absolutely necessary to work face-to-face with an expert. There are apps that can offer strong guidance and even an affordable, reputable online program.

A NAMI survey found that most Americans don't know crucial facts about the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline -- or what to expect if they call.
Of note: New features this year include a Spanish text/chat and a subnetwork for L.G.B.T.Q. callers. nytimes.com/2023/07/13/well/…
