Brain Injury Awareness Month shines a light on the millions of people living with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the urgent need for compassionate, evidence-based care and research.

Emerging psychedelic research is opening new conversations around brain healing, neuroplasticity, mental health, and recovery. As interest grows in the therapeutic potential of psilocybin and other psychedelics, researchers are exploring how these compounds may support TBI survivors experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, cognitive challenges, and persistent post-concussion symptoms.

Jonathan Dickinson’s new book, Ibogaine and the Bicameral Mind: The Transformational Potential of the World's Most Complex Psychedelic Medicine, is now available for pre-order!

A comprehensive guide to ibogaine’s healing power, cultural roots, and clinical potential.

This book offers a deeply researched exploration of ibogaine’s potential in addiction recovery, neuroplasticity, and neuro-regenerative medicine. Drawing from over 15 years of clinical observation and fieldwork, the book examines ibogaine’s traditional ceremonial roots, its impact on memory and behavior, and its emerging role in treating opioid dependence, PTSD, TBI, and other mental health challenges.

“Ibogaine and the Bicameral Mind is a deeply researched and profoundly humane exploration of
one of the most important—and misunderstood—medicines of our time. This book is essential
reading for anyone serious about the future of psychedelic-assisted therapy and the ethical
stewardship of indigenous medicines."
Rick Doblin, PhD, founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS)

Exploring Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy for Advanced Cancer

In this episode of the MAPS Canada Podcast, host Matt Hamel speaks with Dr. Linda Carlson and Dr. Ron Shore about CAN-PACT (the Canadian Network for Psychedelic-Assisted Cancer Therapy), a groundbreaking national initiative exploring the role of psilocybin-assisted therapy for people living with advanced cancer.

Dr. Carlson and Dr. Shore discuss the emotional and existential challenges many cancer patients face, including anxiety, uncertainty, grief, demoralization, and fear surrounding death and dying. They explain how CAN-PACT is building a cross-Canada network of researchers, clinicians, patient partners, and educators to investigate how psychedelic-assisted therapy may help address these deeply human experiences.

The conversation explores:
• Existential distress and demoralization in cancer care
• Group-based psilocybin-assisted therapy
• Mindfulness and psychedelic-assisted therapy
• The role of spirituality, meaning, and connection
• Training clinicians for future psychedelic-assisted care
• The future of psychedelic-assisted therapy in Canada

The episode also examines how CAN-PACT hopes to create sustainable, evidence-based models that could eventually be integrated into mainstream cancer care across Canada.
