ABOUT FIRESIDE PROJECT
Our Mission: Our mission is to help people minimize the risks and fulfill the potential of their psychedelic experiences.
What We Do: Fireside Project is a non-profit organization that operates the Psychedelic Peer Support Line. The peer-support specialists on our Psychedelic Peer Support Line offer real-time support during and after psychedelic experiences. Callers who are military veterans, BIPOC, and/or transgender have the choice to speak to a peer-support specialist sharing their identity.
Our Impact: Fireside Project Health has supported 9,000 people in the past two years and trained hundreds of aspiring psychedelic practitioners.
