Information on Oregon Psychedelics Training Courses
As of January 1st, 2023, the state of Oregon has approved nearly 20 facilitator training courses for individuals interested in becoming "psilocybin services facilitators" as part of the state's Measure 109 (M109) program. The M109 program, launched in January, will allow adults 21 and over to take psilocybin for a variety of reasons. In order to ensure the safety and responsibility of the program, Oregon has introduced the role of a "psilocybin services facilitator" to screen clients, prepare them for the psilocybin experience, provide supervision during the session, and offer integration services afterwards.
To become a facilitator, individuals must hold a high school diploma or GED and graduate from a state-approved facilitator training program. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has established guidelines for these training programs, including a minimum of 160 hours of coursework, with 40 hours of in-person practicum and 120 hours of online coursework covering topics such as safety, ethics, and pharmacology.
The facilitator training courses currently approved by the OHA are offered by a variety of companies, some based in Oregon and others operating internationally. These courses reflect the diversity within the rapidly-expanding psychedelic culture and offer a range of approaches and philosophies towards the psychedelic experience. Some courses may require advanced medical or therapeutic degrees or prior experience in the field, while others may have more open enrollment requirements.
Regardless of their specific focus or requirements, all approved facilitator training courses are required to meet the OHA's guidelines and prepare students to possess the knowledge and skills necessary to practice as a psilocybin services facilitator. With the M109 program just launched, these courses provide a valuable opportunity for individuals interested in becoming facilitators and playing a crucial role in the responsible administration of Oregon's psilocybin program.
