Psychedelic guide training

ACPT Israel is proud to present an exceptional opportunity for qualified and experienced therapists in Israel: the Psychedelic Guide Training (PGT) program offered by Psychedelic Sitter’s School (PSS). This comprehensive training, now in its 35th cohort globally, brings 13 years of expertise to mental health professionals in Israel interested in expanding their therapeutic practice into the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Program Overview

The PGT program is based on the Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy approach, offering a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. This hybrid model allows for both in-person and online participation, catering to the diverse needs of Israeli therapists.

Key features of the program include:

• Comprehensive coverage of work done with four psychedelic substances: Psilocybin mushrooms, psychedelic cannabis, Ketamine, and natural DMT (with practical work done using cannabis).
• Emphasis on practical and experiential training that goes beyond academic learning.
• A global perspective with tailored support for Israeli participants.

Benefits for Israeli Participants

ACPT Israel has worked closely with PSS to ensure this program meets the specific needs of Israeli therapists:

• Course schedules are adapted to Israeli time zones.
• The program is delivered in English, with Hebrew translation of key study materials
• Opportunity to participate in a local in-person intensive.
• Access to a growing community of psychedelic therapy practitioners in Israel and worldwide.
• Option to legally work with patients holding a medical cannabis license in Israel (as long as not treating conditions outside your professional license scope).

Course Structure

The PGT program consists of three main parts:

1. An online course comprising approximately 20 teaching hours (delivered via recorded webinars and live Zoom sessions).
