The landscape of mental health treatment is on the brink of a revolution. Groundbreaking research into psychedelics—such as psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine—has shown remarkable outcomes in the treatment of conditions like long-standing depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In many cases, just a few sessions of psychedelic-assisted therapy have led to profound, lasting changes in patients’ mental well-being, where traditional methods have often fallen short.

Yet with all this promise comes a critical question: How do we bring these innovations into mainstream healthcare?

Healthcare systems around the world, including in the Netherlands, are already stretched thin. Providers are overburdened, burnout is rampant, and structural innovation is slow to take root. So, how can we responsibly and effectively integrate psychedelic-assisted therapy into a system that is already struggling to meet existing demands?

In this insightful session, Floris Wolswijk, founder of Blossom, will share key insights from a six-month investigative study into this very challenge. His research focuses on the Dutch healthcare system but draws conclusions and strategies that resonate far beyond national borders.

Floris will explore:

The current evidence behind psychedelic therapies and their clinical potential
The barriers to adoption within existing healthcare structures
Models for responsible, ethical, and scalable integration
The roles of therapists, institutions, regulators, and patients in this emerging field
What steps need to be taken now to prepare for a future where psychedelics are part of mainstream care

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Floris Wolswijk is the founder of Blossom. Blossom serves as an informational hub for psychedelic insights, documenting psychedelics from research to the implementation of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Floris has also co-founded FLO coaching with his wife Lotte. They provide psychedelic-assisted coaching with a focus on adequate preparation and integration. Finally, Floris is a core team member of Delphi, a US-based consultancy that advises both organisations in the psychedelic ecosystem and the incumbent system, focussing on the medical introduction of these medicines.

Floris studied Psychology at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam and graduated with a master’s degree in 2014. Through his decade of personal experiences with psychedelics and subsequent engagement with scientific literature, he fell in love with the psychedelics field. He is helping make psychedelics more widely available and hopes they can be widely used both as therapeutics and for self-development.

Floris is also a local leader in the Effective Altruism movement, where he encourages people to do the most good they can. He donated his kidney to a stranger and gives away 10% of his income to effective charities like StrongMinds, which helps people battle depression and anxiety.

Floris lives in the Dutch countryside with his wife, Lotte, their two dogs, and six chickens.
