Navigating Crisis: What to Expect from The Tomorrow Project’s Evidence-Based Suicide Crisis Services

By Caroline Harroe (Harmless CEO)

Introduction
When facing a suicide crisis, it is crucial to have access to immediate, specialised support rooted in evidence-based care. At The Tomorrow Project, we are committed to providing comprehensive and research-informed services to individuals in crisis, ensuring their safety and well-being. In this article, we will explore what clients can expect from our evidence-based suicide crisis services, with a particular focus on how we are informed by the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) model developed by Dr. David Jobes.

Immediate Response and Risk Assessment
When you reach out to The Tomorrow Project during a suicide crisis, you can expect an immediate response from our compassionate and highly trained crisis team. Our first priority is to assess your risk level and ensure your safety. Following the principles of CAMS, we engage in a collaborative assessment process to explore the factors contributing to your suicidal thoughts and behaviours. This evidence-based approach helps us develop a comprehensive understanding of your unique situation and develop an individualised treatment plan.

Crisis Intervention and Safety Planning
Based on the principles of CAMS, our team provides crisis intervention tailored to your specific needs. We work collaboratively with you to develop a personalised safety plan, which focuses on reducing suicide risk factors and enhancing protective factors. Our goal is to empower you with effective coping strategies, problem-solving skills and a network of support. The CAMS model helps us guide you through the crisis, addressing the underlying causes of suicidal thoughts and promoting recovery.

Evidence-Based Interventions and Therapeutic Approaches
Our suicide crisis services at The Tomorrow Project are informed by evidence-based interventions and therapeutic approaches. We draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing. Our team is trained in these approaches to provide effective and compassionate care that aligns with the latest research findings.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support
The CAMS model emphasises the importance of ongoing monitoring and support. Our team will continue to work with you, conducting regular follow-up assessments to track progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. We are committed to maintaining a therapeutic alliance that promotes trust and collaboration throughout your recovery journey. Our evidence-based approach ensures that we are continuously evaluating the effectiveness of our interventions and making data-informed decisions to optimise your care.

Conclusion
At The Tomorrow Project, our evidence-based suicide crisis services are designed to provide immediate and tailored support informed by the CAMS model. We prioritise your safety, well-being and recovery, using evidence-based assessments, interventions and therapeutic approaches. You can expect a compassionate, collaborative and research-informed approach that empowers you to navigate through the crisis and find hope for the future. Remember, you are not alone. The Tomorrow Project is here to guide you through the darkness, using the best available evidence to help you find a path toward healing and resilience.
