APPA, also known as the Association for the Promotion of Psychedelic Advancements, is a collective of organizations dedicated to the exploration and understanding of psychedelic medicine and therapies. The group includes the Board of Psychedelic Medicine and Therapies, the Center for Humane Technology, the Center for Mindfulness & Human Potential at UCSB, and the Center for Transformative Technology. These entities work together to promote research, education, and advocacy around the potential benefits of psychedelic therapies in various areas of mental health and personal development. Another significant part of APPA is the Baba's Feed Project, a philanthropic initiative focused on providing nutritional aid to communities in need. There's also the Fireside Project, which offers a safe and supportive environment for individuals exploring psychedelic experiences. The Foundation for Self Leadership, on the other hand, provides resources and support for individuals seeking to improve their leadership skills and personal growth. APPA also encompasses a range of academic and research-based institutions. These include the Contemplative Sciences Center at UVA, Contemplative Studies at Brown University, and the CIIS for Psychedelic Therapies and Research. These institutions delve into the scientific study of psychedelics, mindfulness, and contemplative practices, contributing to the body of knowledge around these subjects and offering educational programs for professionals in the field. Lastly, there are a number of international and community-focused organizations under the APPA umbrella. These include the Communities Health Africa Trust, the Healing Advocacy Fund, the Healing Breakthrough, and the Healing Together initiatives. All of these work together to provide mental health support, advocate for healing practices, and promote community health and well-being through various strategies and interventions.
