The Columbia Protocol, or C-SSRS, is a series of basic questions that anybody, from support staff to loved ones, may ask to empower individuals and communities to identify persons at risk of suicide, link them to the care they require, and prevent tragedies from occurring. The Columbia Protocol has established the gold standard for suicide monitoring and is widely used in the United States and across the world. As policy in all 50 states, national agencies, and the majority of countries, it has contributed to decreases in suicide across all sectors of society and across the world.

Dr. Kelly Posner Gerstenhaber is a Psychiatry Professor at Columbia University. The American Psychiatric Association’s President compared her work with the Columbia Protocol to “the introduction of antibiotics.” Her work is “nothing short of a miracle,” according to the US Department of Defense, and “her effective methodology of transforming the world will help move us closer to a future without suicide.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that her study is “shifting the paradigm in suicide risk assessment in the United States and throughout the world.”

Dr. Posner’s efforts has been recognized in a keynote address at the White House and Congressional hearings, and she led a conference on school safety in the United States Senate in collaboration with the Parkland community. Former Deputy Education Secretary of the United States Department of Education Jim Shelton thinks her work “has the potential to keep the 64 million students in our schools safe physically and psychologically by preventing school violence.” In Israel, where the protocol is in the hands of every teacher, officials stated that her effort “is not only saving millions of lives, but it is truly transforming the way we live our lives.” She has changed local, national, and worldwide policy via her campaigning, which has resulted in a reduction in suicide across all sectors of society.

At the inaugural European Union high level meeting on mental health, Dr. Posner presented an invited lecture on preventing depression and suicide. She was voted the Most Distinguished Alumna of Yeshiva University’s graduate school in the last 50 years, as well as one of New York magazine’s “Most Influential.” She has earned various prizes and honours, including the New York State Suicide Prevention Award, the Anel Award from New York’s “100 Socially Responsible,” and the Partnership for Children’s Anne Vanderbilt Award.

The Columbia Protocol is the policy of all 50 states, several governmental agencies, and the majority of countries. Dr. Posner was commissioned by the FDA to create a scientific approach to suicide risk assessment that has become the gold standard for suicide monitoring and is widely used in the United States and throughout the world. The FDA has described her work as “setting a standard in the field,” and a lead item in The New York Times termed it “one of the most dramatic revisions to laws controlling drug development in the last sixteen years.” Her scientific work has been featured in a compilation of the most important studies in the history of suicide research.

Dr. Posner received the Secretary of Defense Medal for Exceptional Public Service in 2018 for her efforts saving lives around the country.
