A Fundraiser for Philadelphia Area's Expanded Access Sites
The SoundMind Center, in collaboration with The Landing (Wyndmoor, PA), is hosting a fundraiser Wednesday night at the Front Street Cafe in Northern Liberties. This treatment is going to save lives, but it is still very expensive. We vow to make it accessible to everyone who needs it, but we need your help!
Please join us for an evening of food, drink, community-building, dancing, and fundraising as we welcome to Philadelphia representatives from MAPS as well as the research team that developed this amazing treatment protocol. Funds raised at this benefit will be applied to a fund developed to defray the significant training costs to our therapists.
As published in Psychopharmacology (May 2019), in a study of six completed Phase 2 trials of MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for treatment-resistant PTSD, researchers found that 54% of the 103 participants no longer qualified for a PTSD diagnosis following the treatment. In Philadelphia, the poorest big city in the USA, the need for this treatment is immense. Along with MAPS, we are committed to ensuring this life-saving trauma treatment will be subsidized or underwritten for clients from under-served and marginalized communities.
Team members from our site as well as special guests from MAPS will answer questions and offer brief remarks and updates on the research, training, and international expanded access site development. Tickets are available here or at the door for a sliding scale of $10-30, and donations will also be welcomed throughout the evening. We are grateful to the Liaison Room at Front Street Cafe for donating use of their space.
