CAMS is arguably one of the most widely used approaches to clinical care for suicidal patients. It can be readily integrated into any clinician’s therapeutic practice, regardless of background or training.

[CAMS-care] offers a practical, empathic, evidence-based approach that draws on decades of experience and refinements.

The CAMS model and training tools have very quickly helped us to feel more confident and prepared to manage risky patients. Assessment and treatment in these cases are often confusing, and we have benefitted greatly from the structure of the CAMS approach, which has helped us on a case by case basis to understand the phenomenon of suicide risk and organize our treatment approach. I have yet to find a comparable framework that is as accessible to clinicians and yet so robust.
