Practicum Pre-work Module
Introduction
Module Description
During the observational period, you observed one of your fellow learners as they progressed through the arc of psychedelic-assisted therapy. During your practicum, you will observe how we apply the Numinus care model with real clients in our clinics as they undergo psychedelic-assisted therapy. While the structure of the Preparation, Medicine, and Integration Sessions will have parallels to what you observed during the observational period, it is important to keep in mind that you will now be observing actual clients often with severe mental health conditions who may be accessing psychedelic-assisted therapy as a last resort treatment. This final pre-work module discusses some additional key considerations to keep in mind when working with Numinus clients.
