Veterans, Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Psychedelics Symposium – Thurs, Feb 16th
This symposium will offer perspectives on the healing potential of psychedelic medicine for veterans, law enforcement, and first responders–both for themselves and for the communities they serve.
Topics addressed will include alternative treatments for processing traumatic experiences, suicide prevention, alliance building amongst public servants, community healing options, and harm reduction, from the perspectives of those involved in these respective fields.
Speakers include a veteran marine turned psychedelic therapist, scholar, and facilitator; a former police chief advocating for effective mental health treatments; a veteran combat medic dedicated to helping prevent suicide and heal trauma in the communities she serves; and an ambassador to the Heroic Hearts Project, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans in gaining access to psychedelic treatments and healing community.
