First Nations researcher exploring psychedelics as healing tool for intergenerational trauma

Georgina Martin said she knows psychedelics can carry a stigma and some of the First Nations communities the centre has approached have not wanted to work with them. She said the use of psychedelics for healing will likely go through growing pains similar to what cannabis went through when it was being legalized.

Researchers at Vancouver Island University say Indigenous knowledge is key to exploring how psychedelic substances can help treat a variety of disorders related to mental health. Georgina Martin, the co-lead of the Naut sa mawt Centre for Psychedelic Research, says this work caught her attention because of the possibilities it offers for treatment of intergenerational trauma.
