This webinar will provide a general update on clinical suicidology featuring new developments in clinically assessing, stabilizing, and treating suicidal risk. Evidence based developments and related policy initiatives will be discussed. Beyond this update, an emerging clinical and research focus on what makes life worth living will be presented. Randomized controlled trials of CAMS are providing valuable insights as to how people who are suicidal can effectively learn to manage suicidal thoughts and feelings which can open the door to developing meaningful plans, goals, and hope for the future–a life worth living with purpose and meaning.
