At PsyAware we're building a future where everyone using psychedelics, whether in a clinical setting or for personal exploration, can do so in a safe, supported, and inclusive environment.
To shape this future we committed to three key areas of focus:
EDUCATION
We provide education to raise awareness about the benefits and risks associated with psychedelics. As a balanced and impartial voice in the field, we develop courses, training programs, web resources, and educational campaigns to give individuals the accurate information they need to make informed decisions and stay safe.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
We collaborate with a diverse network of professionals, organisations, communities and people who have experienced harm to collectively shape a psychedelic culture that is inclusive and collaborative and promotes safety and wellbeing for everyone in the psychedelic field.
SUPPORT
We are creating support systems, for people who have experienced abuse and transgressions, or simply have been let down by existing structures, and for those who have experienced difficult trips. This includes psychedelic integration and peer-support circles, legal advice, and access to affordable therapeutic support.
Join us in building a more aware, connected, and caring psychedelic culture.

Michelle Baker Jones - Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor & Psychedelic Guide
“PsyAware is a much needed organisation to make the psychedelic community safer. We are beginning to recognise the potential harms caused by misinformed psychedelic use or in problematic set & settings. This seems to be more frequent now that psychedelic experiences are receiving more media attention, making them more sought after by inexperienced users. Providing spaces to mitigate and process harms caused will provide an invaluable addition to the Psychedelic Field.
Anya and Adam both have extensive experience working with psychedelic communities and have a wealth of knowledge and experience between them to bring to such an endeavour.”
Dr Oliver Bashford - Consultant Psychiatrist and Co-founder of the Maudsley Psychedelic Society
“With a rising number of people using psychedelics in regulated and unregulated settings, there is a pressing need to minimise the risks of harm, support those who have experienced harm, and find ways to sustain and enhance the beneficial effects that many people report.
PsyAware brings a values-based and community-oriented approach to working with these issues, and is a welcome development in the psychedelic field.”
