Description

What do you do when a client lets you know they are going to use psychedelics on their own, as part of a ceremony, spiritual practice or because they’ve heard it can help them? Is there anything you can do to help reduce harm? And what about micro-dosing, which is gaining popularity?

Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration (PHRI) is a transdiagnostic and transtheoretical approach that YOU as a mental health professional can take to having conversations with people who have taken psychedelics in clinical or non-clinical settings, or who are seeking help at any stage of psychedelic use. This recording will cover the core concepts of PHRI and its applications, including discussions about microdosing, responding to requests for referrals to non-licensed providers, and working with difficult experiences.
