Navigating Psychedelic Journeys: A Comprehensive Webinar on Psilocybin Therapy & the End-of-Life

During this webinar we discuss the current legal, regulatory and policy landscape as it pertains to the use of psychedelic-assisted therapies in Canada, and emerging developments that will pose challenges and opportunities for health care organizations, clinicians and patients. We also address the challenges and opportunities for the clinical use of psychedelics - moving from underground to the mainstream.
