Webinar description

TheraPsil is disrupting traditional psychedelic clinical trial models with stakeholder-funded research. TheraPsil recently launched a clinical trial in Canada exploring how psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy can improve overall wellbeing. This initiative is unique for several reasons. In part because it does not target a particular disease state. Also, unlike typical industry-sponsored trials, this trial is “stakeholder-funded”, meaning that participants must pay to participate. Learn more about this innovative trial, the motivations behind it, and the scientific and ethical considerations that it evokes.
