About
The Molecules course offers a unique transdisciplinary and evidence-based approach to knowledge about psychoactive drugs.
This first-of-its-kind course was developed for professionals in mental health or related fields as well as for students, researchers, and interested individuals.
Through this course, you will learn to integrate knowledge and practices from different disciplines and professions and apply it in real-life situations where an in-depth knowledge of psychoactive substances can have a positive impact on mental health practice, counseling, emergency situations, or safer use.
Investigate the history, effects, potentials and harms, the different cultural and scientific traditions around psychoactive substances, and models of drug regulation. Get an overview of the main substance classes and a basic overview of neurobiology, neurochemistry, and neuroanatomy.
Learn how to assess, understand, and manage drug-related emergencies with critical care protocols and algorithms used by first responders like paramedics, anesthesiologists, and emergency doctors. Get trained in skills and perspectives that could contribute to another person´s survival.
Learn to differentiate the pharmacological effects of the various substance classes and how they modulate activity on different neuronal networks. Get to know state-of-the-art information on a biochemical and neurobiological level.
Take a deep dive into the exciting and promising substance class: psychedelics. Through combining different perspectives, learn about the medical, anthropological, psychological, legal, and clinical application of these fascinating molecules.
