About the Dad's Ketamine Group

Parenting a child with special needs is one of the most rewarding — and most exhausting — journeys a father can take. Dads often carry immense emotional weight in silence, with limited access to mental health support tailored specifically to their experience.

The Dad's Ketamine Group is a 3-session, therapist-facilitated group program designed exclusively for fathers of children with special needs. This innovative program combines the power of group connection with ketamine-assisted therapy, offering a safe and supported space for healing, stress relief, and emotional processing.

What's Included

Each of the 3 sessions is led by a licensed therapist and supported by 2 trained facilitators. Participants receive a medically supervised ketamine prescription provided by a qualified healthcare provider. Sessions are designed to foster deep connection, reduce burnout, and address anxiety, depression, and caregiver fatigue common among special needs parents.

Your support helps cover the cost of:

• Therapist and facilitator fees for 3 group sessions
• Medical provider consultations and ketamine prescriptions
• Session materials and safe space setup
