Foundations of Psychedelic Healing in Clinical Social Work

3 units

Though psychedelic plants and compounds have been used in a wide spectrum of healing practices throughout human history, they have quickly been gaining recognition and acceptance in conventional western healthcare in recent years, along with a growing popularity of underground and international ceremonial plant medicine work. With the prevalence of ketamine practices, anticipated rescheduling of MDMA and psilocybin, state-level legalization efforts, and increased access to underground communities, a high-demand for psychedelic therapists has been projected by leaders across the field. This course is designed to provide foundational knowledge of contemporary psychedelic healing and integration practices, as is relevant to clinical social work.
