Psychedelic Therapy for Serious Illness and End of Life Care

Abstract

Webinar: September 28, 2023, 4-6 pm. Articles about psychedelic treatments for serious illness and end of life care seem to be everywhere. Rarely a week goes by without a newly published study appearing in a peer-reviewed medical journal, usually followed by reports of the study in prominent news outlets. In this webinar, we will present recent research on this topic, provide an update on the current legislation efforts to legalize these treatments in Washington State, and reflect on proposed treatment guidelines how legalization may impact treatment plans. Panelists include: Dr. David Gruenwald, Medical Director of the Palliative Care and Hospice Service at VA Puget Sound Health Care System Lisa Yeager, MSW, LICSW, CPTR Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Jesse Salomon, J.D. Democratic State Senator representing the 32nd Legislative District in Washington Moderated by Devyani Chandran, Director, Palliative Care Institute, Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washingto
