Evolving Paradigms of Mental Health Care with Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies
May 24 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Location:
Peak Vista Health Center
1815 Jet Wing Dr., Colorado Springs
Presented by:
Shannon Hughes, MSW, PhD
Rob Colbert, MA, PhD, LPC-S
Description:
In this workshop, we articulate the shifting paradigm and practices that characterize psychedelic-assisted therapies and differentiate this form of practice from current approaches to using psychoactive substances in mental health care. We review the ongoing research on the uses, benefits, and safety of ketamine, MDMA, and psilocybin in therapeutic contexts. Finally, we offer an overview of the clinical psychedelic pipeline, what to expect in policy and practice over the next several years, and how interested practitioners can expand their work to include the tools of psychedelic healing.
