(3) A facilitator must use a nondirective facilitation approach to providing psilocybin services to clients during preparation, administration and integration sessions.

(11) A facilitator may not engage in any financial transactions with clients or the client's partners or immediate family members that violate a facilitator's duty to place client's interests above their own as required by section (1) of this rule.

(12) If a facilitator is a mandatory reporter of abuse under Oregon law, the facilitator must disclose their status and obligations to a client at the beginning of the client's first preparation session.
