I had the opportunity to speak with Ed Burke and Brad Sisbarro from the Warriors of Consciousness about the organization’s mental health efforts.
Ed and Brad have extensive background in the military and law enforcement, including work with the DEA. They discovered the benefits of psychedelics and Ketamine in particular for addressing the mental health issues that result from the traumas they witnessed working in the field and during missions. During our chats, Ed shared details of his journey into ketamine treatments for PTSD, and they both emphasized how critical addressing trauma in law enforcement and military is, both for active and retired officers. They are both now tireless advocates for mental health and for veteran’s rights and access to support and alternative treatments like ketamine therapy.
