Psychedelic Assisted Therapy for Groups

In recent years, much more attention has been paid to the mental health needs of front-line health care workers, first responders, and members of the armed forces. The intensity of the work, pressure to perform with inadequate resources, and frequent exposure to trauma leaves people in these jobs particularly vulnerable to burnout, depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use. The impacts can be devastating to the workers and their families: absenteeism and financial strain, damaged relationships with loved ones, and premature exit from the profession.

Eir Centre is proud to offer psychedelic assisted therapy programs in a group setting, specifically geared towards these professionals. Psychedelic medicines in conjunction with structured integration work have been proven to be effective in mental illness, as noted in the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technology in Health’s scientific review.

Psychedelic assisted therapy at Eir Centre for groups of 6 to 8 participants follows a structured approach:

  • An in-person medical assessment for each participant

  • Two preparation sessions with a therapist to discuss intentions and expectations, and coaching around distress tolerance skills

  • Weekend medicine and integration sessions in a calm, supportive setting, with medical and therapist facilitators on site

  • Follow-up sessions to help process the experience and apply new insights to daily life, or integration

Healing is often strengthened through meaningful connection. Our Curated Group Ketamine Journey offers a unique opportunity for friends, family members, colleagues, or other established groups to experience psychedelic-assisted therapy together in a safe, professionally facilitated setting.

Many individuals feel more comfortable embarking on this deeply personal journey alongside people they already know and trust. Sharing the experience within an existing circle of support can foster a greater sense of psychological safety, deepen interpersonal connection, and provide a meaningful foundation for continued healing and integration after the experience.

Our team creates a compassionate, structured environment that honours each participant's individual journey while recognizing the healing potential of shared experience.
