Professor David Nutt presented by MMA

Mind Medicine Australia is delighted to bring Professor David Nutt (UK) from Imperial College London to Australia, presenting an illuminating international keynote live in Byron Bay.

International Keynote: ‘Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies: History, Neuroscience and Myths.’

Professor Nutt will explain:

The historic origins of psychedelic use, the rise of psychedelic therapy in psychiatry in the 1950s/60s and how this was destroyed by the War on Drugs
The new science of psychedelics in terms of brain activity that initiated trials in people with mental illness
The remarkable clinical outcomes from just one or two psychedelic treatments in conditions such as depression, trauma and addiction
How brain imaging studies have revealed the mechanisms by which psychedelics can produce such profound and enduring effects
What Australians can do to advance access to these breakthrough therapies
Following the presentation, there will be a Q & A panel with Professor David Nutt (UK), Peter Hunt AM, Tania de Jong AM, clinician Dr Mario Alam, and from our lived experiences panel, Kerry Soorley..

This is an unmissable opportunity to engage in a discussion about psychedelic-assisted therapies and treatments for chronic mental health conditions, and what Mind Medicine Australia and other local organisations are doing here in Australia.
