Over the coming months, we will develop our own resources, and in the future we will provide direct support to people who have experienced harm in the psychedelic community.
However, we aren’t able to provide this support just yet, so we’ve put together some key resources and a directory of organisations you can reach out to.
If you want to get in touch with us, please use the ‘contact us’ form, but bear in mind that we are limited in what support we can offer right now.

INTEGRATION AND DIFFICULT PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCES
Experiences on drugs can be intense or overwhelming. Unfortunately, some people attend psychedelic retreats, have a strong or challenging trip, and find themselves without adequate support afterwards to integrate the experience.
PsyCare UK have a comprehensive page on integration, giving advice as well as links to a number of different integration circles, many of which are low cost.
The Institute of Psychedelic Therapy has a database of psychotherapists who can provide integration therapy.
ACER Integration is a 12 month programme and community which has been created by clinical psychologist Dr Rosalind Watts.
