Derya Arms Renews Commitment to Walk the Talk America for Mental Health Awareness in 2026

Jacksonville, FL – Derya Arms, a leading manufacturer of high-quality firearms, is thrilled to announce the renewal of its partnership with Walk the Talk America (WTTA), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and suicide prevention within the firearms community. Building on the success of our 2025 collaboration, Derya Arms is committed to continuing this vital initiative into 2026.

Derya Arms will once again make a meaningful donation to Walk the Talk America in 2026, further supporting WTTA's efforts to reduce stigma around mental health, expand outreach programs, provide educational resources, and host community events that promote mental wellness and responsible firearm ownership.

In 2026, Derya Arms will continue including a specially designed WTTA flyer in every firearm sold in the US. This flyer offers critical information on mental health resources, encouraging firearm owners to prioritize their well-being and seek support when needed, while reinforcing the connection between safety, responsibility, and mental health.

"We are deeply proud to renew our partnership with Walk the Talk America for 2026," said Dustin Jones, Derya Arms Representative. "Mental health is an essential part of responsible gun ownership, and by continuing our donation and including WTTA resources with our products, we aim to reach even more individuals in the firearms community. This ongoing collaboration reflects our dedication to fostering a culture of openness, support, and proactive care."

"This renewed commitment from Derya Arms allows us to expand our life-saving programs and reach more people who might otherwise hesitate to seek help," said Michael Sodini, Founder and CEO of Walk the Talk America. "Their continued support in 2026 sends a powerful message that the firearms industry cares about mental health, and together, we're breaking down barriers to create safer, healthier communities."

Established in 1998 in Türkiye with a U.S. presence in Jacksonville, Florida since 2024, Derya Arms is renowned for its innovative and reliable firearms. Exporting to over 65 countries, the company offers a wide range of pistols, shotguns, and rifles built to the highest international standards, with a focus on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

Walk the Talk America (WTTA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between mental health professionals and the firearms community. Through education, outreach, and stigma-reducing initiatives, WTTA works to promote open conversations about mental health, prevent suicide, and provide accessible resources for those in need.

This renewed partnership for 2026 highlights the shared vision of Derya Arms and WTTA to integrate mental health support with responsible firearm ownership, creating a stronger, more supportive firearms community.
