Objectives: Participants will be able to articulate the justifications for psychedelic clinical research, answer clients’ basic questions about the state of psychedelic clinical research, rescheduling efforts, and how psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy works.

This program includes discussion of assessment and integration techniques, resources, and legal and ethical issues.
Objectives:Â Participants will be able to engage in basic psychedelic harm reduction (safety planning)Â with clients, define and differentiate psychedelic integration psychotherapy, and identify key “red flags” that indicate someone should seek specialized psychiatric care after a psychedelic experience.
