Programs Across the Suicide Prevention Continuum
Connect: Building Stronger Teams Together
Connect, developed by Dr Peter Wyman and colleagues (2020, 2022) at the University of Rochester, is a 6-hour program for military, police, and first responders, designed to enhance group resilience and individual well-being. Through collaborative learning, engaging activities, and peer-to-peer sharing, it builds protective strengths, fosters healthy coping mechanisms, and establishes a supportive network. Participants learn to navigate challenges collectively, reinforcing mental health and preparing them to tackle any professional obstacle with confidence and support.

Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality
The CAMS program, Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality, offered by SafeSide Prevention, developed from Dr. David Jobes's research, equips clinicians with evidence-based strategies to combat suicidal ideation. This training emphasises a collaborative approach between clinician and patient, aiming to uncover and treat the underlying causes of suicidality.
In just 14 hours, clinicians can enhance their ability to foster hope, reduce distress, and improve patient outcomes, making a profound difference in the lives of those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
