APC frames its role as building shared language, community support, and safer exploration for neurodivergent people, including autistic people and people with ADHD, who are navigating psychedelics. The organization says it is not a medical, psychological, or clinical service, but it does provide educational material, peer support, integration-oriented resources, and a sensory checklist for harm reduction.

Its current public activity includes referrals to discounted retreat options, research and event programming, and veteran and first responder education around psychedelic therapy and mental health. Public posts from the organization also indicate collaboration-oriented work on real-world evidence, occupational burnout, trauma-informed practice, and the need for wider access to psychedelic therapy for high-stress public service groups.

In psychedelic and drug policy work, ICEERS combines harm reduction, public education, and policy advocacy rather than operating as a patient-access organization. Its current public-facing services include free integration and crisis support through El Faro, a drug-interaction information service, educational resources, and legal defense support for people facing prosecution related to traditional medicines. ICEERS also reports work with Indigenous partners and claims its efforts have informed court rulings and public policy, making it relevant to researchers, clinicians, funders, policy groups, and community stakeholders seeking evidence, safety, and rights-based collaboration.
