As President of the Psychedelic Association of Arizona, I strongly support the message of this piece. The intersection of women’s health, gender-based violence, and psychedelic healing is both critically important and deeply understudied. Survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence deserve access to innovative, evidence-based approaches that address trauma at its roots. As research into psychedelic-assisted therapies continues to evolve, we must ensure that women’s experiences are centered and that this work is supported, studied, and made accessible with care and integrity.
