Event Overview

The mental health epidemic, including substance use and addiction, is a global issue. The crises began long before the COVID-19 pandemic, but two years of work? loss, stress, isolation, and treatment disruption has only exacerbated the number of people struggling with their mental health. Innovations in the range of medicines currently used in conjunction with psychotherapy have had little to no progress over the last two decades. The use of psychedelic therapy has changed this paradigm. With increased preclinical research and clinical trials illustrating the beneficial effects of first-generation psychedelics, a wave of second-generation therapeutics is now emerging. This event will highlight progress in both areas of translational research and provide a panel discussion on the trials and tribulations of developing these therapies for commercialization.
