What happens if you need help during a psychedelic experience—and is there a plan before you need it?

PLAN is a practical, interactive Journey Guide for creating a clear psychedelic safety and support plan before entering an altered state. Rather than focusing on general preparation, this guide helps you think through the decisions that can become much harder to make once an experience is underway.

You'll identify who is responsible for what, what critical information should be available, how your consent and autonomy will be protected, when additional help should be sought, what happens in an emergency, who serves as backup if the person supporting you cannot continue, and how you would safely leave a setting if necessary.

The guide culminates in a printable Psychedelic Safety & Support Plan that can be completed in advance and shared with the people responsible for supporting you.

Because “someone will take care of it” isn't a safety plan.
