CAMS-care is a brand that offers a therapeutic framework for suicide prevention training. They provide evidence-based training and resources for mental health professionals to effectively assess and treat individuals with serious thoughts of suicide. With the CAMS Framework®, clinicians learn to use the Suicide Status Form (SSF) to gather information about a patient's current experience and suicide risk, and then collaborate with the patient to develop personalized treatment and stabilization plans.

CAMS training increases clinicians' confidence, improves communication with patients, and enhances clinical documentation, reducing the risk of malpractice. CAMS is the most effective treatment available for suicidal ideators, and it also shows promising evidence for treating suicide attempts and self-harm behaviors. The CAMS approach is cost-effective, easy to learn, and quick to implement, making it suitable for a wide range of clinicians, treatment settings, and modalities.

It also promotes a common language and team approach to suicide treatment, reducing staff turnover and stress in the work environment. CAMS is applicable to Zero-Suicide initiatives and can be integrated into different healthcare settings. Additionally, CAMS-care provides support for grant applications and offers resources for clinics, hospitals, and state/local organizations.
