Join us for part one of a two-part series focusing on psychedelics.
What are psychedelics? Depending upon when and who you ask, you may get vastly different answers. To Aboriginal peoples, psychedelics are viewed as traditional medicines. In the late 1960s into the 1970s, during the beginning of the “War On Drugs”, they were classified as illicit or illegal substances by many governments. Today, as they are increasingly being used to treat many mental health concerns, the question has now become, what is our new understanding of them?
Joining Jeremy and Trent to unpack this question along with discussing the policies and procedures guiding their use for mental health treatment is Ana Schlosser, a Registered Provisional Psychologist trained in and with several years of experience utilizing these medicines for mental health treatment.
For part two, Jeremy, Ana and Trent want to hear from you. What questions do you have about psychedelics? Submit your questions to the Humanizing Mental Health Facebook page
