The American Psychedelic Practitioners Association was born out of the need for a credible, gold-standard professional association to emerge alongside a certification board. In addition to creating a national network of psychedelic practitioners, a professional association is necessary to advocate for the adoption of psychedelic treatments into the healthcare system and to ensure access for all who can safely benefit.

Standards
Establish Standards of Care and Standards of Training and engage the healthcare system in adopting psychedelic care.
Advocacy
Advocate for safe, effective, and accessible care for all who can benefit.
Education
Provide education, mentorship, and cross-pollination for this multidisciplinary community of practitioners.
Community
