Tripping on an island to help frontline workers

Cybin Announces Launch of EMBARK Psychedelic Facilitator Training Program

Cybin (CYBN) is sending therapists on a psychedelic retreat so they can learn how to provide support to frontline healthcare workers.

Clinical trial facilitators will head to a small island in Washington to be trained on Cybin’s new EMBARK therapy model and gain experiential knowledge of psychedelics. The EMBARK model combines aspects of several psychotherapy models and incorporates patients’ spiritual experiences, bodily experiences, and relationships into the healing process.

The retreat will prepare the facilitators for an upcoming clinical trial at the University of Washington that aims to treat healthcare workers suffering from COVID-related distress, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
