“Today, a record 53 million people in the U.S. alone are suffering from a mental illness, such as depression, addiction or PTSD, according to the CDC. With psychedelics-related legislation, investment, and health advancements announced nearly every day, there’s never been a better time to launch a resource like reMind,” said Sara Vaughn, VP, Brand Leader of reMind. “It’s a privilege to connect the brightest minds and most passionate professionals across the business of psychedelics.”
reMind has assembled industry experts to create an advisory board to support its mission and long-term goals.
