Extreme Risk Protection Orders in MD: Addressing Crisis in Our Communities

This 90-minute virtual training provides clinicians and community-based professionals with a practical overview of Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) as a tool to prevent firearm-related harm in Maryland. Participants will review the scope of gun violence, key elements of Maryland’s ERPO law, and the role of ERPOs in clinical practice. The session focuses on real-world applications, including how ERPOs compare to other civil interventions (e.g., protective orders and emergency mental health evaluations), when they may be used together, and how to engage patients and families in conversations about firearm access—particularly when firearms are viewed as a source of safety. An overview of the Baltimore Crisis Response, Inc. (BCRI) ERPO Navigator Program and how the program model works within clinical settings will also be discussed.
