Psychedelic Screening Essentials

Safe facilitation of psychedelic experiences begins with a systematic intake and screening process. A good intake process will reduce risks associated with psychedelic use, prevent adverse effects from occurring, and increase the odds of a beneficial outcome.

I have been involved in screening persons interested in psychedelic experiences via my consulting practice for several years. I’ve assisted retreat centers in designing effective screening procedures and support facilitators or providers of psychedelics in helping gauge risks of use in persons with different illnesses and medication regimens.

In short, I care about this area a lot and specialize in it! I thought it would be helpful for persons involved in facilitating experiences to put together a webinar workshop where we can:

Discuss elements of intake forms and screening interviews
List elements that may be helpful in holistically considering risks of psychedelic use
Define conditions that are typically excluded from clinical trials that may be considered red flags or contraindications to psychedelic use
Review case example intake forms and discuss their contents
