Minister @jyduclos,

Registered counsellors, like Carmen, are urgently asking you to approve their section 56 exemptions so they may finish training and be best prepared to facilitate safe and effective #psilocybintherapy for patients.

Please respond.

Minister @jyduclos - HCP's have now waited over 300 days for their exemptions. Why are these healthcare professionals not equal to their peers whose exemptions were approved back in December 2020? Why are you blocking access to the tools these HCPs need for training?

Minister @jyduclos - When you approve exemptions for HCP's you allow patients to access professionals fully trained in this unique modality. When you deny exemptions for training, patients are the one's who are impacted. Do the right thing. Grant HCP exemptions today.

@jyduclos Dear @jyduclos "I've just completed the first part of my training with TheraPsil to learn how to safely and ethically work with #psilocybin in assisted therapy for patients facing end of life anxiety, unfortunately I can’t complete my training without your further assistance"

Dear @jyduclos "Myself and approximately 140 of my colleagues are urgently waiting on your support to grant us exemptions to work with these medicines so that we can meet the rising tide of despair and suffering in our communities, that have been exacerbated by covid."
