As featured by CBC, the centre aims to provide innovative treatment within programs of research that promote safety and excellence in the field of psychedelic therapy. Currently, the Centre is already collaborating with multiple studies, and is participating as a collaborator and learning hub in clinical trials (not as a sponsor site) while growing our capacity for intercultural research.
