Protect Our Kids: Youth, Suicide and Guns: a breakout session from the PCUSA National Conference

Pax Christi USA (PCUSA) has working groups addressing various issues; one is the Gun Violence Prevention Working Group. Pax Christi Massachusetts (PCMA) Secretary Jeanne Allen serves on this working group, along with Madeline Labriola (Pax Christi Rhode Island; Mary Ellen Quinn (Pax Christi Maine), and Sherry Simon (PC Little Rock Arkansas). With input from Mary Gagnon of the National Association of the Mentally Ill, Maine Chapter, this subgroup presented a breakout session entitled “Protect Our Kids: Youth, Suicide and Guns” at PCUSA’s National Conference held in July 2025. Jeanne has shared the notes from this session, and we linked them below and also on our “Action Resources” page.
