Abstract: The article focuses on the roles and interventions of social workers when addressing clients at risk of harming themselves or others with firearms. It highlights the critical need for social workers to assess clients' access to firearms, especially during crises, due to the high lethality associated with firearm-related suicide attempts. The study identifies six perceived roles of social workers—investigator, collaborator, confidant, facilitator, navigator, and educator—each reflecting different strategies for firearm removal and client support. The findings emphasize the importance of client-centered approaches and the need for enhanced training and resources to effectively address firearm safety while considering the potential risks of structural harm from medical and legal systems.
