TheraPsil’s training program is designed to provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills required to deliver safe and effective psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy to Canadians in medical need. It covers a wide range of topics, including clinical assessment, ethical considerations, and the use of psilocybin in therapeutic settings; you can view the full curriculum above.
What You Will Learn
Psychedelic-assisted therapies (PAT) are delivered by treatment teams with three main roles: prescriber, primary therapist and secondary therapist. This course has been developed to address the training needs for the three roles, recognising the desirability of members of PAT teams to understand the entire PAT treatment process and the roles each assumes. The Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy course provides appropriately qualified and experienced healthcare professionals with the necessary capabilities, knowledge and skills to safely and successfully facilitate PAT in a clinical environment, in accordance with their role as prescriber, or primary or secondary therapist.
