Psychedelics

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY

Dr. Gül Dölen has already made her mark in neuroscience and psychedelics with her work on critical periods in the brain at Johns Hopkins University (be sure to watch the video for details on her amazing career to date).

Dr. Dölen’s research has made her a pioneer in these fields because of her passion to look beyond current inquiry and explore what she terms ‘the next, next thing.’

As the newly established Renee & U.S. Marine LCpl Bob Parsons Endowed Chair at UC Berkeley – a tenured professor position focused on the intersection of psychedelic science, psychology, and neuroscience – Dr. Dölen will continue her groundbreaking inquiry on how psychedelics work in the brain and why these substances have such great potential for healing.

The Ripple Effect

We’ve touched on two major threads in our web above to give you a bit of insight into our work in 2023. That’s the thing about a web – each thread is unique in its own right, but cannot exist on its own. Each is a greater part of the intricate whole.

We recognize that so many of our fantastic community partners weave a thread focused on mental health through services in support of their greater missions – understanding that the holistic needs of a person cannot be met without addressing their mental wellbeing.

SEMPER FI & AMERICA’S FUND was founded 20 years ago to assist combat-wounded, critically ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families across all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Fund is unique in its commitment to not only the physical health of those it serves, but also their mental and spiritual wellbeing – embracing the whole person and family, for a lifetime.

CHILD CRISIS ARIZONA provides families with the tools they need to keep children and youth safe and free from abuse and neglect through education, shelter, and more. They also provide tailored counseling services because they know the key to a strong family is the mental wellness of all involved.
