Healthcare Workers

Across specialties, physicians are often tasked with addressing the emotional distress of their patients in addition to caring for their physical well-being. We offer opportunities for physicians to gain a deeper understanding of transformational medicines including psychedelics, so that they can explore the potential use of psychedelics in their practice.

Psychiatrists have a unique and critical role in mental health and many psychiatrists in the field are aware of the incredibly challenging and important role they play in the emergence of transformational medicines.  The convenings offer psychiatrists from many universities, organizations and areas of practice to meet one another and discuss ways to work together on supporting a new framework for mental health and wellness.

We bring together mental health providers including therapists, social workers and counselors to deepen an understanding of transformational medicines including psychedelics and to explore the potential use of these medicines and therapies in their practice.

Psychedelics are very powerful allies for the challenges of addiction.  Yet the stigma and misinformation around these medicines still persist.  These gatherings bring together researchers, program directors, experts and addicts themselves as a way to support the use of transformational medicines.

Transformational medicines hold great promise for people dealing with existential anxiety. With our guidance, hospice workers and others providing end-of-life care explore the use of psychedelics in their practice. Providers of End-of Life and Palliative care have often been some of the front runners in the field of transformational medicines and can often be strong voices in the field of mental health and end of life care.

Those on the spectrum face challenges such as social anxiety and difficulty with connection. Research is beginning to show promising results and the field is ripe for exploring applications and ways to both do more research and to begin more integrated ways of accessing this work for this community.  As a way of supporting this community, we convene the experts in the field, researchers investigating the use of transformational medicines  with autistic individuals, and those individuals themselves,  to explore integrated approaches and best practices.

We are looking forward to hosting forums for healthcare workers and their families so they can begin to learn more about transformational medicines including psychedelics; what they are, how they work, what research is being done to-date, and how they can be accessed. We work with many of the participants from our gatherings to begin to seed the convening of the forum.  This provides an opportunity for the ideas from the convenings to be shared with a larger community.

Our upcoming Reconsider Personal Program will offer educational and transformational experiences including breathwork and/or psychedelics (starting with Ketamine) for healthcare professionals.  We know that they can learn and be supported in their own work to address the PTSD, anxiety and depression within their own fields.

With our education programs, doctors, nurses, therapists, and other mental health providers will have the opportunity to earn CE credits. These programs will feature core training, including Reconsider’s methodologies and concepts.

We are developing media projects focused on destigmatizing mental health and psychedelic medicines for the healthcare profession. This work includes Stories of Transformation featuring healthcare workers and others.
