Abstract
The use of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes and personal exploration has been gaining significant attention in the media, public interest, and clinical trials. This surge in interest has created a growing demand for training, education, and awareness about the potential benefits and risks associated with these substances. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and research surrounding psychedelics. It seeks to emphasize the key considerations and provide professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the stages involved in psychedelic-assisted therapy, including assessment, preparation, and integration. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of adopting a harm reduction approach when working with both clients and also for providers in this field. Lastly, this paper will conclude by proposing and providing an overview of a training program designed to introduce and orient health professionals to this growing and emerging field.
