Assessment and Treatment of
Suicidality: A Psychological Approach with Eoin Galavan

professionals will encounter suicidal clients at some stage and there is a
wealth of information available on risk management of such cases. This workshop
introduces the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS)

client as soon as suicide risk is suspected.
By the end

Be
able to identify suicidal risk early in the clinical engagement and use of
Suicide Status Form (SSF) to collaboratively assess suicidal risk
