FREE course for First Responders and Front Line Healthcare employees, through a research project with Loyalist College, Centre for Healthy Communities.
The Neuma Centre For Psychedelic Safety & Response is proud to offer the Psychedelic First Aid™ & Preparedness Course, a comprehensive full-day program designed to prepare participants for a wide range of scenarios that may arise before, during, and after psychedelic experiences. As First Responders and Front Line healthcare providers, our response can alter the level of safety and harm experienced by a Journeyer, whether in a health care setting or recreational location.
The Free Research course is intended for BEGINNER level only, front line healthcare providers (Nurses, Public Health, Doctors/NP) and emergency first responders (Police, Fire, Paramedic/EMT), who are interested in learning about psychedelics, the rising use in communities, and how to provide safe and responsible care, no matter where and when you become involved in a Psychedelic Journeyer's experience. This course is about reducing harm & increasing safety, in our communities & facilities for you and the Journeyer!
The First Responder
You typically encounter people during their journey when the experience is 'difficult' or a situation has arisen that requires your intervention. What and how you respond is critical for yourself and the Journeyer experience.
(Police, Fire, Paramedics EMT)
The Frontline Healthcare Professional
You will often see people when they are considering taking a psychedelic, during the experience, or after, often when less desirable effects have occurred. Learn how to support and advise before, during, & after.
(i.e. Nurses, Doctors/NP, Public Health Professionals, and Hospital mental health workers)
The Research
Loyalist and Neuma partnered through the 'Centre for Healthy Communities' to understand the needs of these professions as it relates to rising psychedelic use, and how the program increased your knowledge and how it can be improved.
(The research only requires an additional 30 min of time, already included in the course delivery hours, to complete an anonymous survey - that is all we ask of you, for your FREE participation and certificate.)
The research is for Beginners only and for the professions named above. If you don't qualify for the research, please sign up for our 1st Aid Training.
The Psychedelic First Aid™ & Preparedness training is designed to enhance understanding and skills in managing safety aspects of those choosing legal or illegal use of a psychedelic, in medical and public settings. From assessing risks associated with different substances and the impact of set and settings, to handling acute reactions and promoting post-experience self-empathy, our curriculum covers essential first aid techniques while emphasizing compassionate care and ethical practice to ensure the experience is healing versus harmful, for all involved.

This course has personally helped to enhance my understanding of psychedelics when viewed through the lens of the social determinants of health, trauma recovery, and general healing. The course does an excellent job of establishing the guard rails one should consider to ensure that everyone's journey is safe and responsible, as well as introspective and healing.
