A comprehensive, self-paced certification for mental health professionals.

This course is designed for mental health professionals who are working with — or preparing to work with — clients struggling after challenging psychedelic experiences. These clients often arrive feeling fragmented, haunted, or confused.

Drawing on over a decade of clinical experience and an 11-step recovery framework, the course offers practical, evidence-informed tools to support recovery and integration.

You’ll be introduced to a clear, practice-based framework for understanding and treating psychedelic casualties — those left fragmented, haunted or confused after difficult psychedelic experiences.

The course explores common symptoms, internal and external causes of distress, and practical treatment pathways. You’ll deepen your ability to support clients through the destabilisation that can follow a challenging journey.

The training is delivered across 8 self-paced modules, available immediately upon enrolment — so you can take as long as you need or move through as quickly as you like.

You’ll receive over 20 hours of video content, along with practical tools, real-world case examples, and a comprehensive 11-step recovery process.

You’ll also gain access to our ongoing peer community after Module 4.

A Certificate of Completion and course outline are provided.

International participants may be able to claim CPD — check with your local professional body.

Community & Support
