Course Overview

MAPS courses cover psychedelic crisis assessment and intervention for law enforcement, EMS, and mental health providers, along with an introductory Psychedelic Fundamentals course. The crisis response trainings focus on recognizing and responding to emotional and behavioral crisis incidents involving psilocybin and other psychedelics, while also addressing responder safety and risk reduction. The Psychedelic Fundamentals course is designed for people who are curious about psychedelics and want a basic overview of what they are, how they work, what they are being used to treat, and related safety and legal questions. The course page lists multiple lessons for each offering. This directory page appears to serve as an overview of MAPS course options rather than a single standalone course.
