Course Description

The Access and Inclusion in Psychedelic Treatment Webinar Series is an on-demand 10-session educational experience that focuses on exploring the current challenges and future opportunities for promoting social justice within the field of psychedelic medicine. The course delves into the critical social justice considerations of access to treatment, the medicalization of sacred plants, oppressive psychiatric treatments, and the stigma surrounding drug use in marginalized communities.

The webinar features expert instructors and panellists who will share their unique perspectives on the subject and encourage participants to reflect on their own experiences with the material. Through interactive exercises and self-reflection, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the implications of drug policy and mental health barriers on marginalized populations' access to psychedelic-assisted therapy.

The course covers topics such as the critique of drug policies, the barriers to access, the impact of bias against individuals with mental illness, the role of race and ethnicity in research, the intersection of research, policy, and corporatization, and current decriminalization efforts in the US. It also covers the impact of gender in therapy dyads, unique aspects of PTSD in military populations, leading ethical guidelines for therapy, and controversies related to therapist training and self-disclosure.

The entire 10-webinar series is available for purchase for $100, which includes 10 hours of CE, or individual webinars can be purchased for $12 each with 1 hour of CE. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to demonstrate knowledge of these learning objectives and apply them to their professional practices.

About Instructor

Tatayo (“Fruit of the Wind”) first arrived in Gabon in 1971 at the age of 21 and became a Gabonese citizen. In 1979, he became the first white person to be initiated into the Bwiti Fang tradition in Gabon. In 1994, he was initiated into the Misokko tradition. As a guide for numerous expeditions and missions, including those of National Geographic, the BBC, and others, Tatayo is considered to have “opened the door” to westerners in Gabon.
