"The Celium" is VAPS’ Psychedelic Harm Reduction team
At music and arts festivals as well as local music venues, we set up a safe space where participants can step out of the greater festival to rest and relax, warm up or cool down, hydrate, share their experience and connect with volunteers who are familiar with the challenges presented. We provide safe partying information and offer resources to support physical and mental health.
We embrace the opportunity to use the skills we have learned through our community involvement to offer support to those who may be experiencing emotional or psychological distress.
We are trained and equipped to administer Naloxone should ever an opioid overdose occur. We work closely with medical and security teams to make sure that all attendees receive the care that serves them best.
