TapTalks: Psychedelics in the Treatment of Mental Health

Presented by Dr. Keith Courtney | Bridgeland Distillery, Calgary

On Wednesday, August 6, 2025, step into one of the most groundbreaking conversations in modern medicine. Join us at Bridgeland Distillery for an evening of craft cocktails, connection, and discovery as TapTalks welcomes Dr. Keith Courtney — Calgary-based psychiatrist, Medical Director of SABI Mind, and a national leader in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Once considered taboo, psychedelics like psilocybin, ketamine, and MDMA are now at the forefront of research for treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders. Dr. Courtney will break down:

• The history & resurgence of psychedelic medicine
• How these substances work on the brain to promote healing & neuroplasticity
• The science & clinical evidence behind psychedelic-assisted therapy
• The future of psychedelic treatments in Canada and where research is headed

Whether you’re a skeptic or believer, you’ll walk away with new insights into how these therapies are transforming mental health care.
