Presented in collaboration with Resilience Across Borders

Psychedelic-assisted therapy is showing promise for people who haven’t found mental health relief with traditional treatments. While it isn’t widely available yet, research suggests it will become more common in the near future. This webinar will help you understand what makes psychedelic-assisted therapy unique and why the relationship between patient and therapist is so important. This webinar discusses how this approach differs from traditional talk therapy, what to expect as a patient, and how to recognize qualified and trustworthy therapists.

By the end of the presentation, you’ll have practical information to guide your choices, whether you’re a patient curious about these treatments or a clinician interested in the future of care.

What You Will Learn

  • The Therapist’s Role: What therapists do before, during, and after psychedelic sessions.
  • The Patient’s Role: How patients prepare, participate, and follow up.
  • What to Look For: Skills, training, and qualities that make a strong psychedelic therapist.
  • The Big Picture: Current therapy options and what’s coming in the next few years.
