Suicidologist offers ways for 'increasing hope and decreasing hopelessness' in suicide spike
Fox News
Suicidologist Dr. David Jobes spoke with Fox News Digital about his intervention's unique efforts to provide proper treatment and prevention awareness for suicidal patients.
Jobes is the founder of the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) program with over 30 years of experience in clinical psychology. He explained that rather than focus on medication, his intervention training focuses on recognizing "drivers" behind suicide like a lost job or relationship.

"In our intervention, we target and treat those drivers, and we don't necessarily eradicate them. We shift them in such a way that they feel like maybe I don't have to kill myself. And so it's just a just noticeable difference that I come in looking at suicide this way as my only solution and after six or eight sessions and now looking at it this way. And what we find is the biggest effect in CAMS is increasing hope and decreasing hopelessness. And we like that finding because when there's hope, there's always a way that people can find a life worth living or purpose of meaning," Jobes said.
