March 10, 2022, 4 p.m. PST / 7 p.m. EST
Join Psychedelics Today CEO Joe Moore and members of the Vital teaching team in thought-provoking discussion on the delivery of safe, effective treatment with psychedelics and the DNA of well-trained, informed practitioners.
The interest in psychedelics as a therapeutic tool is growing rapidly, and the demand for safe, ethical and effective treatment and integration is growing exponentially – with no signs of slowing. With demand projected to skyrocket for this specialized adjunct therapy, filling the ‘practitioner pipeline’ will be one of the greatest challenges to delivering psychedelic therapy en masse.
What are the gaps in the psychedelic training field, how are the demands for skilled practitioners likely to grow as regulations change in Canada and around the world, and what will be required to prepare healers for this new mental health paradigm?
Tune in for this crucial discussion for insights on:
● The opportunities for practitioners, today and tomorrow
● The value of personal experience with psychedelics for practitioners
● Creating a safe container for clients
● Balancing clinical and Indigenous practices
● The importance of inclusion in the psychedelic healthcare field
