Navigating OPS Work Requires More Than Basic Training

Are you facilitating or supporting psilocybin services and realizing that the demands go beyond what most trainings prepare you for?

Do questions about ethics, psychological readiness, and suicide risk feel heavier—or more complex—in non-ordinary states?

Are you clear on your role, but still want stronger frameworks to guide difficult decisions?

You’re not alone.

OPS work places facilitators at the intersection of vulnerability, altered states, and public accountability - often without enough clinically grounded guidance.

We See the Challenges

Here’s the reality for many facilitators involved in OPS-related care:
  • Ethical Complexity: Non-ordinary states intensify power dynamics, vulnerability, and responsibility.
  • Psychological Readiness Isn’t Always Obvious: Assessing expectations, stability, and contraindications requires more than a standard intake.
  • Suicide Risk Requires Precision: When clients present with suicidality, the stakes are high—for clients and facilitators alike.
  • Fragmented Training: Ethics, assessment, and risk are often taught separately, if at all.

But this work doesn’t have to feel fragmented or uncertain.

The OPS Facilitator Clinical Skills CE Bundle

This intermediate-level course bundle brings together three core areas of competence—ethics, psychological assessment, and suicide risk evaluation—into one cohesive learning path.

Rather than focusing on facilitation techniques or experiential models, this bundle centers on the responsibilities that protect clients, facilitators, and the integrity of psychedelic services. The emphasis is on sound judgment, ethical clarity, and defensible decision-making in real-world OPS contexts.

This bundle is designed to support facilitators who want to do this work carefully—not quickly.

This bundle is delivered as on-demand, video-based home study programs. This bundle offers 4 NBCC credit hours upon completion. Partial credit is not available.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
Apply ethical frameworks for navigating boundaries, consent, and power dynamics specific to non-ordinary state contexts in Oregon Psilocybin Services.
Assess psychological readiness and contraindications for clients seeking psilocybin services using structured clinical criteria.
Evaluate suicide risk factors and protective factors in clients presenting with suicidality within psychedelic-adjacent care settings.
Differentiate how ethics, psychological assessment, and suicide risk evaluation work together to support defensible clinical decision-making in OPS practice.

I appreciated Dr. Addy's attention to detail, as well as the lovely relational pause to incorporate information on the wounded healer and Radical Healership. :) Very authentic and important. I appreciate Dr. Addy's style and approach as well as audio and visual methods of teaching and handouts to return to if needed for reference.

Excellent training. I like how the information was presented in a variety of ways, both conceptual, as well as with case study examples. I also like the segment on radical healership and really reflecting on our own shadows and potential unconscious motivations. Important to be aware of!

I thought the course was good. I'm taking it for psychedelic facilitator CE and found the principles for the Ketamine course applicable. I would comment that production could have been slightly better. But I do also like the reasonable price point.

Presenters

This course is taught by licensed clinicians who actively work in psychedelic-related clinical settings, including ketamine-assisted care and high-acuity assessment contexts.

The instruction integrates academic research, real-world clinical experience, and careful attention to ethics, safety, and scope of practice. Rather than abstract theory, the teaching is grounded in real clinical judgment—helping clinicians navigate ethical complexity, assess psychological readiness, evaluate suicide risk, and proceed with clarity, care, and professional confidence in OPS-related work.

Frequently asked questions

Does this bundle meet Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) continuing education requirements?

Yes. Psychedelic Affirming Education is an NBCC-approved Continuing Education Provider (ACEP No. 7579), and this bundle is built to meet the OPS continuing facilitator education requirement. It aligns with core curriculum modules under OAR 333-333-3060, including: Safety, Ethics, Law and Responsibilities; Preparation and Orientation; and Administration. It provides a total of 4 CE hours. You describe how the hours apply to your practice when you report them for renewal.

Why does this bundle include ketamine-focused courses if it’s for Oregon psilocybin facilitators? 

Originally developed for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy practitioners, these courses focus on clinical skills that matter in any psychedelic work: ethics in non-ordinary states, psychological assessment, and suicide risk evaluation. Some examples reference ketamine sessions, but the principles carry over to psilocybin services because they are not specific to one medicine.

How do I document these hours for my Oregon facilitator license renewal?

Each course in the bundle offers two certificates. Download the Certificate of Completion for Oregon Psilocybin Facilitators: it carries the four items OHA asks for, including a relevance statement for that course. Record each course in OHA's Continuing Facilitator Education Hours Log with your own description of how it relates to the core curriculum, and keep the certificates with your renewal records.

Is this bundle only for clinicians formally working within OPS?

No. While this bundle is highly relevant for facilitators working with Oregon's Psilocybin Service Centers, it is also appropriate for licensed mental health professionals working with psychedelic-related care, preparation, integration, or assessment in adjacent settings.

Does this bundle train facilitation techniques for psilocybin sessions?

No. This bundle focuses on assessment skills and ethical foundations, not facilitation interventions. The emphasis is on ethics, psychological assessment, and suicide risk evaluation—areas that support safe, responsible practice regardless of facilitation style.

Is this bundle appropriate if I’m newer to psychedelic facilitation work?

Yes. The bundle is often used by facilitators building foundational competence in psychedelic-related care. It does not assume advanced facilitation experience and focuses on judgment, boundaries, and ethical clarity.

Do you offer accommodations for participants with disabilities?

Yes. Psychedelic Affirming Education is committed to providing equal access to our courses in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and similar laws. We provide appropriate accommodations for participants with physical, visual, auditory, and other legally-recognized disabilities. To request accommodations, please contact us.
