Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) Training

The CAMS Framework is an empirically-validated approach to treating suicidal risk.

Backed by 40+ years of ongoing clinical research, the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is a patient-centered, suicide-focused, clinical philosophy of care based on empathy, honesty, and trust. CAMS is a “Well Supported” treatment by CDC criteria, referenced by the Joint Commission, Zero Suicide, the Surgeon General and the 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention.

In the CAMS Framework, the patient is the co-author of their own treatment plan developed collaboratively with the clinician. CAMS is proven to resolve suicidal ideation in as few as 6 sessions, decreasing hopelessness and increasing hope, leading to a life worth living with meaning and purpose.
