This meeting space is dedicated to individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds that are currently participating in the MDMA assisted therapy and education program.
This group aims to offer a safe space to discuss educational content related to MDMA, with an emphasis on how these aspects intersect with racial and cultural experiences. The affinity group provides a safe and inclusive environment for BIPOC individuals to share their experiences, insights, and challenges related to MDMA therapy and education. This is a chance to foster community and connection among peers who may feel underrepresented in this field. We hope the group space will not only support its participants but also contribute to the broader goal of making the field more inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the needs of diverse populations.
