youth

Welcome to the forefront of youth mental health and the transformative potential of psilocybin therapy. Young people aged 15-24 face mental health challenges and substance abuse issues [1]. In addition, 8% of youth reported using psychedelic drugs in 2021, up from 3% a decade prior [2]. Psilocybin research offers hope to address this crisis. Media coverage has popularized psilocybin therapy, including discussions around and micro-dosing. 

Youth demand mental health services, yet prohibitive cost and skepticism towards traditional interventions are significant barriers to access. Psilocybin offers a new alternative. Leading research institutions endorse psilocybin's potential to aid youth mental health. However, issues in the illicit market pose risks – as there is no screening, no dosing information, no quality control, no oversight, and no follow up.

The convergence of high-profile media coverage, heightened awareness among youth about psilocybin, and the pressing challenges faced by the current mental health system; it is evident that we stand at a pivotal moment in history. By embracing the potential of psilocybin therapy and forging a path towards responsible regulation, we can empower today's youth with innovative solutions, offering them the support they urgently need.
