What happens when a psychedelic protocol ends and the study team goes home? That’s the question at the heart of this year’s Psychedelic Lived Experiences Summit, a global virtual gathering running November 20-22, 2026, under the theme Beyond the Protocol.

NPA co-founder Britton (Britt) Rollins will be contributing to the summit as part of a roundtable examining the support that surrounds psychedelic care – and the people too often left outside the treatment room.

The session: Supporting the Wider Circle

On Saturday, November 21 (3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT / 9:00 PM CET), Britt joins Roundtable 6: Supporting the Wider Circle – Families, Partners, and Caregivers, a 90-minute working session alongside Ismail Ali, JD; Ona Praderas; Jérémie Richard, PhD; and Amanda Geisinger, moderated by Sergio Pérez Rosal, MD.

The roundtable tackles a question that rarely makes it into clinical protocols: what role should families, partners, and other caregivers play before, during, and after psychedelic treatment – and what support do they need, while still respecting participant autonomy and privacy?

It’s a conversation that maps directly onto NPA’s work. Psychedelic care doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Preparation and integration happen at kitchen tables, in car rides home, and in the worried middle of the night. If the field is serious about safety and real-world outcomes, the wider circle has to be part of the design – not an afterthought once the protocol ends.

A summit built on lived experience

The Psychedelic Lived Experiences Summit is independently organized and led by people with firsthand experience of psychedelic clinical trials and treatments. This year’s edition brings together 55 contributors across lived experience, research, clinical practice, policy, and advocacy for nine working roundtables on safety, longer-term outcomes, support, and accountability beyond psychedelic treatment.

The inaugural summit in 2025 reached more than 3,000 attendees from 74 countries – and this year’s program builds on that foundation, with 40+ partner organizations including NPA.
