"The formation of our Medical Clinic Advisory Board is a critical next step in the creation of our clinics and treatment models. By incorporating a team of experts specializing in mental healthcare, interventional psychiatric treatment, psychedelics, and clinical deployment, operations, and advocacy, we are achieving the next step in our strategic plan to increase treatment access in local markets across Canada," said Robert Tessarolo, President & CEO of NeonMind.

Currently, ketamine and esketamine may legally be prescribed and administered in Canadian medical clinics, however there is a need for these clinics and treatments to be tailored to community and local health needs. As psychedelic drug development and treatment programs evolve to include additional psychedelic-enhanced therapies with substances like psilocybin, NeonMind will be positioned to have the infrastructure in place to safely and effectively administer these treatments.

"Our Medical Clinic Advisory Board will ensure that NeonMind is able to develop protocols and treatment programs at the cutting edge of mental health research and ensure that we are prioritizing value, access and advocacy for those who need them," added Rob Tessarolo.
