The purpose of this event is to (1) make sure that MDMA therapy will be available to communities of color by training therapists of color, (2) expand thinking about PTSD to include racial trauma, and (3) improve the culturally-informed curriculum within the MAPS MDMA Therapy Training Program.

In addition to the training’s focus on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, community leaders will join trainees for the workshop entitled Psychedelic Medicine and Cultural Trauma, to engage in dialogue about the social, political, cultural and historical causes of trauma, as well as to discuss barriers to acceptance of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in communities of color while envisioning ways forward.
