Psychedelic Assisted Therapy: An Evolving Landscape

Friday, February 28, 2025
9:30 a.m. - 12:30  p.m.

Zoom Webinar

Registration Fee: $45

OVERVIEW: Psychedelic assisted therapy (PAT) is an emerging field and many clinicians have questions such as "What is (PAT)? Is it legal? What does it treat? Who can do it? How do I get trained? How do I work with clients who seek PAT if I am not trained?"

This webinar will give a historical perspective of psychedelic research for mental health issues and describe the evolving legislative landscape on state and federal levels.  It will provide an outline of training and credentials required for those who do PAT.  The role of the non-PAT therapist working with persons receiving  PAT, and specific information provided on how to help their clients prepare for and integrate a PAT experience and continue healing in the context of an existing therapeutic relationship will be discussed.

OBJECTIVES: After attending this Zoom webinar, the participant will be able to:

• Describe the research on psychedelics and the paths for legalization,   
• Discuss the credentials, training and competencies likely to be required to become a PAT therapist, 
• Describe how to adapt talk therapy interventions and modalities to integrate a psychedelic experience.
