Roots to Thrive Society for Psychedelic Therapy

Roots to Thrive is a non-profit healthcare organization based in British Columbia, Canada, dedicated to providing psychedelic-assisted therapy within a community-supported model. The society is recognized for pioneering the first legal community-based ketamine-assisted therapy program in Canada and has expanded to include psilocybin-assisted treatments for patients with end-of-life distress and treatment-resistant conditions. Their clinical model emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, combining medical oversight with psychological support and peer-group integration. Roots to Thrive works in collaboration with Vancouver Island University and local health authorities to conduct research and establish best practices for psychedelic medicine. The organization focuses on treating complex mental health challenges, including PTSD, depression, and anxiety, while advocating for broader patient access through regulatory channels like Health Canada's Special Access Program.
