Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is part of an emerging model of psychedelic medicine that employs psychoactive agents to support the psychotherapeutic process. Frontline health care workers and first responders encountered excessive levels of job stress, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article reports on a 6-week community-based group-KAP program to address symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression in a sample of first responders and frontline health care workers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Recruitment was self-directed based on a sense of work-related stress.
