Details
Mental health care in Australia is changing. Since July 2023, authorised psychiatrists have been able to prescribe MDMA for PTSD and psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression. As these treatments enter clinical care, health professionals need real skills in screening, ethics, risk management and supervision. This three-day training gives you a clear, evidence-informed framework for working safely in this new space, whether you're joining a multidisciplinary team, preparing patients before treatment, supporting integration afterwards, or simply guiding patients who ask about these pathways. Across the three days you'll look at: • Australia's regulatory framework, including the TGA Authorised Prescriber scheme • The science and evidence behind psychedelic-assisted therapy • Patient screening, informed consent, preparation and integration • Compassion-focused approaches, ethics, boundaries and clinical supervision Learning is hands-on, with role plays, small-group practice and case discussions. No substances are used during the training. The course is designed for psychiatrists, GPs, psychologists, counsellors, nurses, allied health professionals and yoga or meditation therapists. It is led by Celia Roberts BSc with guest teachers including Dr Tim Read, Dr Nigel Strauss, Dr Nikola Ognyenovits and Sarah Pant.
