Summary
This project is an open-label randomized study looking at an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress
Reduction (MBSR) curriculum vs. an 8-week MBSR curriculum + a group psilocybin-assisted
psychotherapy intervention for frontline healthcare providers struggling with symptoms of
depression and burnout associated with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Following consenting and enrollment a total of 24 participants will be randomized to receive
either an 8-week MBSR curriculum or the same 8-week MBSR curriculum + a group
psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy intervention. The group psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy
intervention will involve 3 group preparatory sessions (2 hours each), a single 8 hour group
psilocybin administration session with a 1:1 therapist to participant ratio (25mg psilocybin
dose), and 3 group integration sessions (2 hours each).
