Why Join APPA?
APPA is creating the professional guidelines and infrastructure around psychedelic-assisted therapies so everyone can safely access life-changing care. Led by a diverse group, including psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, lawyers, professors, and traditional and non-traditional medicine practitioners, we’ve founded a community to share knowledge, teach and learn from each other, and ensure transparency and accountability as PAT is adopted into mainstream healthcare.
