How can The Hope Institute help me?

THI utilizes CAMS and DBT, two proven clinical interventions that reliably and effectively treat suicidal ideation among other symptoms. CAMS intends to treat patient-defined suicidal drivers leading to rapid reductions in suicidal ideation, overall symptom distress, depression, and hopelessness. In addition, there is promising data for decreasing suicide attempts and self-harm behaviors.
