Where the field comes together to define good practice, and a professional
membership where practitioners meet it. Verification against a standard
opens in the coming months
Built with the field
Co-designed with experts across research, harm reduction and practitioners from clinical,
non-clinical and indigenous lineages.
Built with the field
Co-designed with experts across research, harm reduction, and indigenous, and practitioners from clinical, non-clinical and indigenous lineages.
Why the standard matters
Every part of it can be learned. Holding it all together is the practice.
PsyStandard turns that complexity into common ground.
PsyStandard turns that complexity into a living verification framework — co-designed with academic institutions, harm reduction experts, and practitioner communities, and tested in practice.
How it works
The standard defines safe, ethical practice. Membership is how practitioners keep growing together.
The standard defines good practice. Membership is how practitioners meet it and uphold it.
01 / The standard
The competencies, ethics and boundaries the field agrees on co-designed with experts across research, harm reduction, practitioners from clinical, non-clinical and indigenous lineages.
02 / Membership
A professional community of practitioners who take this work seriously: a standing intervision circle, supervision from recognised specialists, and colleagues across traditions and countries. Every circle member is reviewed before joining.
You don’t have to do this work alone
01
A standing intervision circle that meets every month. One fixed circle, so it becomes a group you can trust and rely on.
02
Highly experienced specialists from different disciplines take turns joining your circle.
03
Templates and resources that you can use with clients straight away.
04
Every member signs the PsyStandard code of conduct. You can tell clients which standards you work by.
05
Practitioners will soon be able to get verified against the standard. Regular supervision and intervision will be part of the criteria. As a member, you already have both.
