Can Land-Based teachings shape psychedelic therapy training?
NCT ID NCT07806786
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a First Nations-led, culturally grounded education program for psychedelic-assisted therapy is practical and well received by health practitioners working with Indigenous communities. Researchers compare a land-based curriculum with Elders and Knowledge Keepers against a standard online course. The study measures recruitment, completion, and knowledge gains. No psychedelic medicines are given during the training.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Enhanced land-based educational curriculum for psychedelic-assisted therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a culturally grounded training model for psychedelic-assisted therapy, improving access and relevance for First Nations communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with 40 participants, so results may not generalize. It focuses on education, not treatment outcomes, and no medicines are given.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Experience working with or a member of an Indigenous population: Experience working with First Nations, Inuit, or Metis people in the capacity of a therapist, clinician, mental health practitioner, or community wellness worker. * Connection to community: Participants may reside, work within, or maintain significant connections with an Indigenous community (urban, rural, or on-reserve) to reflect the diversity of Indigenous contexts. * Age: Adults aged 18 and older to ensure participants can provide informed consent. * Availability to complete training and evaluation sessions: Participants must be available to complete both the required training components and the follow-up assessments, including participation in the First Nations-specific training if randomized to the intervention group. * Language proficiency: Proficiency in the language(s) used for the study (English or an Indigenous language if culturally appropriate) to ensure effective communication. * Stable health status: Participants should be in a relatively stable physical and mental health condition to ensure their ability to participate without compromising their well-being. * Access to support: Participants should have access to a support network or resources (e.g., counsellors, family, or community support) during the study to address any emotional or psychological distress that may arise. Exclusion Criteria: * Active Substance Use Disorder Without Stability: Individuals actively using substances in a way that would impede participation or pose safety concerns during study activities * Inability to Provide Informed Consent Individuals who cannot fully understand the study's purpose or consent process due to cognitive impairments or other reasons. * Lack of Community Connection: Individuals with no connection to or work with Indigenous communities, as this connection is integral to the study's cultural and contextual relevance. * Concurrent Participation in Conflicting Studies: Individuals participating in other research studies with similar goals or interventions in the last 12-months, to avoid conflicting influences or overburdening the participant. * Unwillingness to Engage: Individuals unwilling or unable to fully engage in study activities, such as interviews, focus groups, or educational pathways.
