“As a woman veteran in this space, my goal is to help create the infrastructure rather than try to fit into something that’s already been made with a very male-centric model.”

– Kristin Barnes

“These are not just substances that are more effective. These are substances that will really cause us to change our perspective on how we interact with each other, how we test, analyze, and utilize medication, drugs, and psychotherapy in the future.”

– Jesse Gould

“It took a lot of struggling through my civilian transition to realize that I needed help and to ask for that help. And you know I’m here today because I got that help.”

– Natalie Lupiani

“This psychedelic therapy is the big, huge light at the end of the tunnel for me and for many others that have been working on trying to find solutions for the veteran suicide epidemic.”

– Juliana Mercer
