SafeSide CARE Testimonials

From a professional perspective, I find SafeSide is revolutionary as it provides an efficient and effective mechanism to separate the person from their suicidality ... [and] provides me with a logical and sequential framework to quickly understand and communicate the circumstances of the people I support.

Peer Worker

I didn't realize I could be such an integral part of helping a person find help and come up with a plan.

Primary Care Professional

SafeSide has successfully embedded a genuinely collaborative, compassionate, recovery-oriented approach to working with people with suicide concerns into a systematic, evidence-based framework.

Lived Experience Advocate

What matters most

Being prepared to respond with confidence and care

Clinical services face some of the most rewarding and the hardest moments in health care. SafeSide helps at every stage of the care continuum.

SafeSide Connect

An interactive program that strengthens team connections and resilience, reduces isolation, and supports staff well-being.

SafeSide CARE

CARE gives all clinicians a common approach to person-centered risk formulation and response. It builds consistency and confidence across roles.

CAMS Treatment

CAMS engages patients as partners in care, addresses the drivers of distress, and supports structured, suicide-specific treatment with fidelity.

SafeSide Restore

A network that helps services implement post-incident processes that promote healing, improvement, and a restorative learning culture.

When it comes to safety planning, "what" you do matters, but "how" you do it matters more. SafeSide CARE is created through clinical and lived experience expertise and provides evidence-based strategies, such as developing safety plans for foreseeable changes, and engaging support networks.

Safety and Staff Resilience starts here. Support drives it. Results prove it.

SafeSide CARE Testimonials

SafeSide's content and its people are amazing. The support we receive and the connections that have been made are improving our ability to provide a service that is truly "beyond safety". We already held the values, many parts of the knowledge, and some of the skills, but the SafeSide Framework brings it all together, and helps us to identify what we are doing well and where we need to keep building.

Clinical Services Director, SafeSide CARE Participant

This workshop has assisted in boosting my confidence in how to most appropriately approach a person at risk of suicide, particularly in my work environment. There are times it can feel very daunting when you are working with someone that you don't know (or have a familiar relationship with) that are expressing thoughts of suicide. This workshop helped solidify my confidence in how to most appropriately provide assistance to a person I am not familiar with.
