PROGRAMS
- Gun Free Zone Program
  - The Washington CeaseFire Gun Free Zone program
  - Why are Gun Free Zones important?
    - descriptionResearch shows that the presence of firearms increases the risk of firearm-related violence from suicide, homicide, or accidental shootings. People have the right to advocate for their personal safety, and the safety of their families, by choosing to spend time in gun-free environments, whether at home or patronizing gun-free businesses.
  - Other Gun Free Zones
    - descriptionFirearms are not permitted in hospitals, bars that serve alcohol, schools, federal offices or buildings, courthouses, and many other private businesses.
  - How can a business become a Gun Free Zone?
    - descriptionSend an email with your contact information to us at info@washingtonceasefire.org.
      In the subject field put Gun Free Zone Application. We will reach out to you with more information. There is no cost to participate in Washington CeaseFire’s Gun Free Zone program.
- Firearm Injury Prevention Educators
  - High School Presentations
    - descriptionGun violence is the number one cause of death nationally for the 0-18 age group, yet students are not typically provided with facts or information about this public health issue, nor are they taught strategies for protecting themselves and their families. Washington CeaseFire believes that education is a critically important ingredient to a successful campaign to reduce firearm injuries. Firearm Injury Prevention Educators have taught thousands of high school students how to decrease their risk of gun injury. To request a presentation, send an email to info@washingtonceasefire.org with your contact information, or contact Gregory Engel MD MPH FAAFP directly at (206) 963-6915.
  - Testimonials
    - descriptionSince 2017, Firearm Injury Prevention Educators have presented to over 6,000 students across Washington State, to universally positive feedback from students and educators alike.
  - School Curricula
    - descriptionWashington CeaseFire is working with school districts to incorporate firearm-related harm reduction strategies into the standard high school health curriculum.
- ASK (Asking Saves Kids)
  - descriptionUnlocked and loaded firearms increase the risk of unintentional injury or death for infants and children. The goal of the ASK program is to normalize conversations about firearms in social situations. Just as parents often ask about food or pet allergies when their children are having playdates, it is equally important to ask about the presence of firearms. Asking if firearms are present, and if so, whether they are securely stored, can prevent accidental deaths or injuries among children.
