This curated collection of sessions from the conference Veterans stage is part of MAPS’ ongoing commitment to supporting and advocating for Veterans living with PTSD.
"On this Veterans Day, we are proud to stand with the countless Veterans who, with great courage and vulnerability, have strengthened our efforts to discover, develop, and advocate for new ways to address mental injuries. Thank you, Veterans, for your continued service on behalf of your brothers and sisters — and the millions more who may benefit from your contribution on behalf of people with mental injuries, no matter the cause. We encourage everyone in our community to learn from and be inspired by the discussions from the Veterans stage at Psychedelic Science 2023."
