Investigating attitudes towards psychedelic-assisted therapy
Researchers from the Edith Collins Centre and the Matilda Centre for Mental Health and Substance Use are interested to hear from mental health clinicians, alcohol and other drug (AOD) clinicians, and people with lived experience of a mental illness or mental disorder (consumers) about their knowledge, beliefs, and motivations behind interest (or disinterest) in psychedelic-assisted therapy from a mental health clinician and lived experience perspective.
If you are a mental health or AOD clinician, or someone who has lived experience of mental illness or mental disorder, we invite you to complete a 20-minute online survey to help us understand what you think of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
The study is being conducted by the Edith Collins Centre at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. The research team is being led by Professor Kirsten Morley.
