For participation in all Roots to Thrive programming, a stable internet connection is required.
All Roots to Thrive programming is completed virtually, while all medicine sessions are completed face to face.
If you are thinking of applying to be a participant in the Roots to Thrive program with Ketamine Assisted Therapy, here are some questions to help you decide if this is a good fit for you.
- Do you have the time, energy, and interest to be an engaged and consistent participant in a small group of people who become a bonded community through community of practice gatherings and depending on the RTT program, group medicine assisted therapy session(s)?
- If you are parenting, do you have solid child-care plans?
- Do you have a diagnosis of PTSD, depression, substance use disorder and/or anxiety that hasn’t shifted as well as you wish with medication, therapy, and other approaches although you have been doing your work and have made some progress? For RTT-KAT and RTT-PAT a physician’s referral is required.
- If you have self-medicated your distress with alcohol and/or drugs, is your life stable enough now to allow you to commit to a group process that counts on your open-hearted, fully present weekly participation?
