The Temple News published an article about SoundMind and Hannah McLane, Temple University alumna.

Some highlights are in this post, and the full article can be found here.

Since August 2021, SoundMind has trained more than 85 clinicians and raised over $22,000 for training BIPOC clinicians in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy procedures, McLane said.

“West Philadelphia is an important center for healthcare,” McLane said. “We offer a unique approach to treatment and patient care for the area and people are excited about it.”

“Affordability and equity are important to us,” McLane said. “Psychedelic-assisted therapy can only do so much good if people don’t have access to it.” 

“These medications, along with the guidance a therapist can provide, can help a patient turn inward and confront trauma in a way that’s not aggressive or frightening,” McLane said.  

Aubrey Howard, director of Community Outreach at SoundMind is confident that a visit to the center will reassure anyone with concerns regarding psychedelic medicine.

“We’re cautious in everything we do,” Howard said. “There’s been a long tradition of these medications and techniques in the medical field. We’re continuing that.”
