Happy Pride! MAPS values our queer community, who continue to expand and contribute to psychedelic science in monumental ways. Pride commemorates the 1969 Stone...wall Riots, led by trans women of color. Pride is a celebration of the dignity, rights, and joy of people who identify across the sexuality and gender spectrums.

Would you like to meet other people who are participating in ketamine treatment? Would you like to prevent depression relapse? Sage Institute is offering an Interpersonal Therapy Group (IPT-G) specifically for people living with depressive symptoms who are participating in legal ketamine treatment in CA. IPT-G is an ideal method of support for ketamine clients living with depression because it both decreases depressive symptoms while in group and teaches skills to reduce depression long-term. The group will meet once a week for 10 weeks, starting in April 29th, 2021. Sessions are 90 minutes in length and cost of treatment is $20/session.
