Join us for a critical conversation addressing the pressing issues of racism, implicit bias, and microaggressions within the psychedelic field. This forum brings together thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners to explore the intersection of systemic inequities and psychedelic-assisted therapies, aiming to identify actionable strategies for creating a more inclusive, equitable, and culturally competent psychedelic ecosystem. Ignoring issues of racism and bias stagnates progress and limits the transformative potential of psychedelic therapies; this forum calls on the psychedelic community to take collective action to ensure the field evolves with equity, inclusion, and safety at its core. Speakers include Monnica Williams, a clinical psychologist, disparities researcher, diversity instructor, and university educator who is Chacruna’s Racial Equity and Access Advisor, and NiCole T. Buchanan, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Michigan State University, Clinical Director of Alliance Psychological Associates and part of the Advisory Board of the Chacruna Institute. The discussion will be moderated by Sonya Faber, who holds a Master’s in Neurobiology from Brown University and is member of the Board Directors of the Chacruna Institute.
