This is the authoritative presentation of the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) therapeutic framework.

CAMS provides proven tools to help clinicians of any orientation evaluate suicidal risk and develop a suicide-focused treatment plan. In addition to their clinical utility, the procedures used for assessment, stabilization, and treatment of suicidal risk within CAMS can help reduce the risk of malpractice liability. The third edition features major updates based on ongoing clinical research, increased focus on implementation with adolescents; and guidance for effectively using CAMS via telehealth. The companion website provides downloadable reproducible forms, including a fillable PDF of the Suicide Status Form, optimized for electronic medical records.
