Commitment to Living (CTL) is a practical and compassionate approach for responding to suicide risk. Dr. Anthony R. Pisani developed and tested CTL as a three-hour workshop geared toward busy clinicians in challenging clinical environments. The workshop teaches core competencies in suicide risk assessment, documentation, and decision-making. This weblog originated in 2007 in response to interest from participants in ongoing education and interaction. At the present time, Dr. Pisani posts to the blog intermittently, and uses it as a repository for commentaries and links that might be helpful to workshop participants, as well as to clinicians around the world who visit and comment.
