  • Putting a spotlight on one of my favorite resources for therapists integrating psychedelic therapies into their practice. No, it's NOT a paid advertisement. I just love what they're doing.

📢 Announcements

  • The Open Source Psychedelic Assisted Therapist (OSPAT) curriculum now has 53 stars on GitHub! If this if you're first time learning of OSPAT, it's a project I started 2 years ago after coming out of the MAPS MDMA-Assisted Therapist training frustrated at the lack of access for therapists to learn this material.

Introducing....

I was fortunate to discover Psychedelic Support two years ago when building OSPAT. I loved what they're doing so much I made sure to include their free materials in the curriculum list. They continue to role out many impressive features to support therapists and clients who may want to pursue psychedelic therapies.

Psychedelic Support advances psychedelic knowledge and practical skills through their education platform featuring courses (CE/CME), workshops, and training programs taught by experienced researchers and practitioners. Additionally, they offer connection to licensed health professionals and community groups who provide mental health services related to psychedelic medicine and integration.

Let's briefly explore both of these focus areas.

Education

With Psychedelic Support you can advance your understanding of psychedelic therapy while you earn continuing education (CE/CME) credits. Learn from leaders in the field with their engaging online courses and training programs. Some courses are free and you can learn everything you need to know about psychedelic research, therapies, dosing, and safety. You’ll hear expert tips for best practices and ways to advance your career in the psychedelic field.

Examples of some of their online courses that allow you to study at your own pace (CE/CME credits available):

🍄 Understanding Psilocybin: Effects, Neurobiology, and Therapeutic Approaches (9 hours, $139)

📗 Foundations in MDMA Safety, Therapeutic Applications & Research (6 hours, $139)

💛 Ketamine: Therapeutic Applications, Clinical Research, and Neural Mechanisms (5 hours, $139)

🐸 The Wondrous World of 5-MeO-DMT (2 hours, $39)
