This week, legislators, staff, and partners joined us at the Texas Capitol for a Lunch & Learn with Ashley Carmen, LMFT-S, Founder of the Psychedelic Guide Network (PGN), exploring psychedelic-assisted therapy through her experience in psychotherapy, addiction treatment, psychedelic integration, and clinical research.

Ashley shared insights into how psychedelic-assisted therapy is developing in practice, along with the importance of strong clinical and ethical standards as the field continues to evolve.

Thank you to Ashley for sharing her expertise and to everyone who joined us.

These sessions create space for lawmakers and staff to engage directly with clinical expertise and better understand how psychedelic-assisted therapies could be integrated into our healthcare system, helping inform future policy in Texas.

Dr. Sue Sisley, Principal Investigator and Chief Medical Officer at Scottsdale Research Institute / Field to Healed Foundation, and Logan Davidson, Senior Advisor at T4GMH and Director of Policy and Advocacy at VETS, are featured in a proposed PanelPicker session on what comes next for Right to Try access to investigational psychedelic therapies following the April executive order.

A recent New Yorker article examining the momentum behind ibogaine research in Texas highlights Logan Davidson, Senior Advisor to Texans for Greater Mental Health and Director of Policy and Advocacy at VETS (Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions), and traces his role in the work that helped establish Texas as a national leader in state-funded psychedelic research.

The article also recounts the development of the broad coalition around SB 2308, bringing together veterans, first responders, researchers, psychedelic advocates, and leaders from across the political spectrum.

That coalition helped build the bipartisan support that ultimately carried SB 2308 through the Texas Legislature and supported Texas’ historic $50 million investment in ibogaine research.

After 30 years in the Navy, including 28 years as a Navy SEAL and 26 as a combat medic, Steve Viola began to recognize the anxiety, PTSD, and TBI symptoms he had spent years pushing through.

Speaking to members of the Yale Club of Austin at Sagebrush, Steve shared how psychedelic therapy helped him find relief, better understand his thoughts and emotions, and learn how to simply be.

Steve has supported Texans for Greater Mental Health since the beginning and has been a dedicated advocate for veteran mental health and expanded access to psychedelic-assisted therapies.

This Sunday, August 2, he will carry that advocacy into the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, a more than 10,000-mile endurance ride across North America, in support of our mission.
