Where Should I Start?
I’m a gun owner
Practical tools to check in on your mental health, build a plan before you need it, and explore responsible storage options.
I work at a range, shop, or train others
Ready-to-use materials, instructor training, and practical resources you can implement immediately in your classes or business.
I’m a mental health professional, healthcare professional, or researcher
Cultural competence training, survey data, and collaborative tools designed to support informed, real-world prevention work.
Our Initiatives
ROOTS Project
ROOTS Project connects healthcare professionals and researchers with modern firearm storage technologies. By increasing awareness around the latest real-world tools firsthand, we help inform prevention strategies grounded in voluntary, responsible storage practices and lived experience.
This is where public health and responsible ownership meet in practical ways.
Kids to Kings
Kids to Kings focuses on early intervention and trauma-informed education for young men. By addressing complex trauma and emotional regulation early, we work to interrupt unhealthy coping patterns before they take root.
Prevention does not start in a crisis. It starts upstream.
Leading Nuanced National Conversations
Michael Sodini and WTTA leadership regularly contribute to national conferences, research discussions, and industry forums where firearms and mental health intersect.
Our role is educational and collaborative. WTTA helps organizations communicate responsibly, design culturally informed programming, and build trust across sectors.
We do not engage in lobbying. Our work centers on dialogue, voluntary solutions, and responsible ownership.
