Description
With increased use of psychedelic medicines nationally, mental health providers need to be prepared to reduce the risks for clients considering the use of psychedelics and/or helping clients who have had psychedelic experiences process those experiences effectively – what some have called Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration Therapy (PHRT). Lauren Going, co-founder of Inner Path Wellness in Baltimore City, will share best practices and discuss the variety of models in use for effective preparation and integration before and after a psychedelic journey.
