Suicide & Crisis Assessments
Collaborative Assessment & Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is a validated, evidence-based clinical framework designed to assess, monitor, and treat suicidal risk. This comprehensive approach combines quantitative metrics with qualitative clinical evaluation to provide a thorough understanding of an individual’s suicidal ideation and associated risk factors.
CAMS employs a collaborative therapeutic framework that systematically evaluates key psychological factors, including psychological distress and pain, stress tolerance and coping mechanisms, acute agitation levels, feelings of hopelessness, self-perception, self-directed negative emotions, and overall suicide risk severity. Its structured methodology enables healthcare providers to develop targeted intervention strategies while maintaining therapeutic alliances with patients and has demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing suicidal ideation and improving clinical outcomes through multiple randomized controlled trials.
