Center for
Psychedelic Public Health
Exponential healing for existential times
The Center for Psychedelic Public Health unites the population-level power of public health with the transformational power of psychedelics and allied healing practices* to reduce associated risks while optimizing health, wellness, and equity for communities, populations, and the planet
*Allied practices include collective-level traditional, contemplative, spiritual, expressive approaches
The Case for Psychedelic
Public Health
The status quo produces intractable crises in health, justice, and climate
These crises are collective in cause, scale, scope, and impact
Population-level responses are needed for widespread change, unprecedented collaboration on global challenges
Psychedelics can work at the collective level and be pro-health, pro-social, pro-environmental
Prevailing biomedical psychedelic practices do not match the scale of need or the scope of psychedelic use due to focus on individual and clinical care, service bottlenecks, low affordability, and cultural and trust barriers
Public Health adds needed population-level prevention, promotion, and community approaches that promote health and wellness and reduce harm for collective benefits in all contexts
Partnering public health and psychedelics, guided by equity, ethics, Indigenous knowledge, and community approaches, can amplify health and wellness, reduce risks, and support transformational solutions
