A community-centered approach to psychedelics.
Discov Ment Health November 27, 2025 Sean M. Viña
A community-centered approach to psychedelics emphasizes the importance of social and communal contexts in shaping psychedelic experiences and their outcomes, rather than focusing solely on individual use or clinical settings. The work argues that integrating community support, shared rituals, and collective meaning-making can enhance benefits and reduce risks associated with psychedelic substances. This perspective challenges individualized models and calls for greater attention to cultural and relational dimensions in psychedelic research and practice.
