"The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is one of a handful of suicide-focused clinical treatments with extensive clinical trial support. CAMS is a therapeutic framework that focuses on patient-identified "drivers" of what makes them suicidal. CAMS is patient centered and focuses on empathy, collaboration, and honesty. As an outpatient intervention CAMS is designed to form a strong clinical alliance and to increase motivation in the patient with helpful clinical documentation that reduces the risk of malpractice liability."
