Workshop: Foundations in Psychedelic Therapy Research
Fri, Apr. 11, 2025 1:00pm — 4:30pm
Join Bespoke Mental Health Canada for a workshop delivered by Dr. Nadav Liam Modlin on Foundations in Psychedelic Therapy Research!
Friday, April 11, 2025
9:00 am - 12:30 pm (PT)
12:00 pm - 3:30 pm (ET)
This training will provide mental healthcare professionals with an introduction to the
experimental use of psychedelics for the treatment of psychiatric conditions in research
settings, including depression and PTSD.
Mental health providers will learn about the types of compounds being researched, their
proposed indications, potential benefits, and their associated risks and side effects. Through a trauma-informed lens, providers will also learn about the key clinical principles and practices utilized across psychedelic clinical trials.
This training will equip providers with the foundational knowledge and understanding necessary to navigate the evolving landscape of psychedelic research and its potential implications for clinical practice.
