Psychedelics and the Use in Treatment of Mental Health
December 10, 2025 | 8:00 am to 9:00 am
There is growing interest in the use of psychedelics for the treatment of PTSD, depression and substance use disorders. Patients may ask their provider about these options, but family physicians are unaware of the latest data on safety and efficacy or understand what services are available in Ontario. During this session, our panelist will discuss the current evidence for specific treatments in PTSD, depression and substance use disorders, including the limitations of the evidence and risks of these therapies, and pathways for referrals and treatment.
The Practising Well Community of Practice has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 1 Mainpro+Ⓡcredits. This Community of Practice includes a series of planned webinars. Each session is worth 1 Mainpro+Ⓡcredits, for up to a total of 12 credits.
