History
The founder and director of the project is researcher and journalist Jules Evans. When he was 18 years old in the 1990s, Evans had a very bad LSD trip that resulted in mental health difficulties that lasted for years, which later inspired him to found the project. Evans also runs an online peer support group for people who have had difficult psychedelic experiences as well as a prominent newsletter called Ecstatic Integration.
The Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project was founded in 2022. It is funded by various private donors.

Reception
Though aiming to help prevent and manage challenging psychedelic experiences, Evans has also been critiqued for making unsubstantiated allegations about the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and has been described by some critics as an "entrepreneur of psychedelic negativity".
