Description

Too often lack of training, confidence, or the fear of malpractice litigation ends with clinicians sending suicidal clients to emergency departments and hospitals …

…. where they receive little or no help.

And the research shows that this “passing off” of clients actually increases suicide rates, rather than prevents deaths.

But this doesn’t have to be the go-to-method for handling suicidality!

Dr. David Jobes, a preeminent suicidologist and developer of the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) treatment method uses his over 30 years of expertise to give you ready-to-implement assessment and treatment strategies to increase between-session safety and stability!

You’ll get:

  • Tools for optimizing CAMs in a system of clinical care
  • Strategies and framework to keep clients engaged in treatment
  • Techniques for navigating barriers when adopting various treatment methods
  • Case studies and real-time review of how treatments are applied
  • Interventions to help clients cultivate purpose and meaning in their lives

If you aspire to save lives and decrease suffering, this is your chance to improve your practice and quality of care for client struggling with suicidality.
