Mind Medicine Australia exists to help alleviate the suffering and suicides caused by mental illness in Australia through expanding the treatment options available to medical practitioners and their patients. We will establish safe and effective psychedelic-assisted treatments to treat a range of mental illnesses.

Mind Medicine Australia is a registered charity founded by Tania de Jong AM and Peter Hunt AM. We are supporting clinical research and working towards regulatory-approved and evidence-based psychedelic-assisted therapies. We operate as a peak body that connects medical practitioners, consumers, academia, government, industry, regulatory bodies, philanthropists, investors and other stakeholders. The charity is supported by a board, ambassadors, advisory panel and lived experience panel.

In furtherance of this mission, MMA Podcast ‘Season 2’ aims to connect, listen and share the power of lived experience stories of mental health challenges and altered states that cultivate wellbeing and utilise the collective voices to inform research directions, policy and system change. This podcast will explore modalities including but not limited to altered states from the use of psychedelics, breath work, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, nutrition, sleep and exercise.

Goals: 

·       To connect, listen and provide a space for people with ‘lived experience’ to convey insight around mental health, altered states and wellbeing.

·       To explore how life challenges and altered states have impacted wellbeing.

·       To share people’s understanding of wellbeing with the community.

·       To consider how lived experience can influence research directions, policy and system change.

·       To establish an avenue for meaningful conversations that ultimately transform the health ecosystem.
