A longstanding commitment of Numinus Wellness Inc. (OTC:NUMIF) to collaborate with Health Canada to help shape protocols for the Special Access Program appears to be paying dividends. Last Monday, the company announced that its Montreal-based Mindspace clinic is about to become the first health-care facility in Quebec to legally treat depression with psilocybin. Numinus CEO Payton Nyquvest sat down the TDR Founder Shadd Dales to elucidate on the importance of this milestone achievement.
The Mindspace clinic approval is a byproduct of months of hard work and understanding of Health Canada requirements to move the approval process forward. Its genesis can be traced back to 2019, when Mindspace hosted one of the first training programs in Canada for clinicians wanting to learn more about helping their clients work safely with psychedelics. Minspace subsequently launched its Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration program, and in late 2020, began offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
