Ethical Psychedelic Care
A live, interactive 10-hour certificate course on ethical psychedelic care, using Synthesis Institute’s Four-Lens approach. It covers research, cultural sensitivity, trauma-informed practice, and the foundations for responsible care in therapeutic and non-therapeutic settings.
Course Overview
Ethical Psychedelic Care is a live, interactive 3-day certificate course that introduces the foundations of ethical, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed psychedelic care. The course is designed around Synthesis Institute’s Four-Lens approach, which includes embodied, cognitive, sacred, and relational perspectives. The course addresses the growing need for competent psychedelic practitioners as access expands and best practices remain unclear. It explores how to reduce risk and support positive outcomes through interdisciplinary training, ethical standards, and a more nuanced understanding of psychedelic experiences. It is intended for aspiring and established practitioners, including people working in healthcare, mental health, and well-being, as well as those interested in expanding their professional competencies and understanding of the psychedelic field. The format includes workshops, Q&A sessions, and other interactive elements.
Who is this for?
Aspire to facilitate safe, ethical, and integrative experiences that can bring sustainable long-term benefits to others by developing a holistic approach to psychedelic care that aligns with personal and professional values and objectives. Have been inspired by their own psychedelic experiences or the potential of the field and are eager to expand their professional competencies by broadening their perspectives and skillsets and integrating proven methods and ethical considerations into existing professional practices. Are working in the healthcare, mental health, and well-being sectors and recognize that some of their clients could significantly benefit from psychedelic-assisted approaches. This need may stem from traditional methods that have reached a plateau or clients directly expressing an interest in psychedelic care, leading practitioners to seek informed guidance on how to support them professionally. Are interested in building meaningful connections within the emerging field of psychedelic care and developing their interpersonal skills alongside a select cohort of mature, like-minded professionals who share their commitment to personal growth. Aim to gain a comprehensive overview of the psychedelic field while building the foundational understanding necessary to provide ethically competent and professionally robust psychedelic care.
