— triggered when a mental health professional believes someone is at imminent risk of killing themselves — can increase a person's risk of suicide.

"They were good people. They were good-hearted. They were crushed when their patients died, but they didn't even know how to ask the question, let alone how to assess and manage the risk," he said.
David Jobes is director of the Catholic University of America's Suicide Prevention Lab and created CAMS – Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality – widely regarded as one of the most effective approaches to treating suicidal patients.
