If you’re just getting started with psychedelics, a good place to start is to learn the facts about psychedelic medicines and harm reduction strategies. Psychedelics are intricate medicines that can address complex human challenges, and understanding safety best practices and protocols is imperative.
And it’s your lucky day because Psychedelic Support’s Clinicians Exploring Psychedelic Therapy Course (3 hours CE credits) and Harm Reduction Course are absolutely FREE! These courses are valuable for both new students and experienced clinicians alike. Recognizing that your clients may attend retreats where psychedelics are offered or take psychedelic medicines on their own, knowing how to keep people safe—regardless of their access to the medicine—should always be our first priority.
The next essential step in your psychedelic education journey should be understanding Ethics in Psychedelics. Given the complexity of psychedelic medicines and the human mind, and the vulnerable state often accompanying psychedelic experiences, practitioners must be trained in the multiple layers of ethics that need to be understood and honored. Psychedelic Support offers comprehensive learning modules that provide the necessary depth of ethical understanding for psychedelic clinicians and practitioners, ensuring optimal client and patient outcomes.
