PsyCare UK: Frontiers in Harm Reduction

As part of this series, we’ll be meeting the intrepid souls and dedicated practitioners working at the face of the psychedelic renaissance. These are folks exploring the meaning, structure, and possibilities of these extraordinary states of mind, including the dangerous, harmful, or just plain confusing territory that can be opened up when we take the business of meaning-making into our own hands.

The narrative around psychedelics emphasises the transformative potential of these so-called wonder drugs – and misses out the real pitfalls that can come with exploring these expansive states of mind. We'll be exploring the wider context of psychedelic plants, culture, philosophy and experience, and having a go at the eternal question which psychedelics have once again confronted us with: who gets to decide what we experience, and how we make sense of it?

PsyCare UK offers transformative welfare and psychedelic harm reduction. The core of our work is supporting people through crisis, whether drug-induced or otherwise, at festivals and events across the UK and Europe. Our service is based on the premise that with the right support, in the right circumstances, a bad trip can be transformed into a meaningful breakthrough experience.
