Compassionate Care: The "Do No Harm" Model for Ethical Psychedelic Therapy in Marginalised Communities
Kawaakibi Foundation’s Shefa project has developed a “Do No Harm” guide - an ethical framework for psychedelic therapy addressing marginalized communities - set for early 2025 publication. This scalable model ensures culturally sensitive, respectful, and safe care. Presented by Dr Leyla Hussein, a psychotherapist specializing in sexual violence survivors, this session introduces ethical, trauma-informed practices for vulnerable groups. Dr Hussein will highlight how centering marginalized voices and prioritizing safety elevates therapeutic standards. By integrating “Do No Harm” principles, organizations involved in psychedelic therapy can uphold ethical guidelines, enhance client protection, and champion inclusive, culturally competent care.
