Mission

Our mission is to eliminate the financial barriers to psychedelic-assisted therapy, so that we can:

  • Solve inequity in mental health treatment
  • Enable healing of underserved communities
  • Advocate for systemic change

We do this by:

  1. Providing supplemental funds for treatment
  2. Supporting a national network of top-tier ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) clinics
  3. Advocating for psychedelic-assisted therapy to be more broadly accepted in social, medical, and regulatory arenas

Vision

To help humanity heal through psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Our Core Values

Integrity + Authenticity

We value truth, vulnerability, and transparency, continually striving to align thoughts, words, and deeds with each other and with our community of stakeholders. In this industry, we see a great need for organizations who walk in integrity, do what they say, and do not compromise care for profits.

Innovation + Disruption

We explore and employ innovative ways to disrupt an inequitable mental health care system and apply cutting-edge approaches to ensure access for all. As leaders and pioneers in the industry, we are creating a new model that will disrupt the current, broken model and make it obsolete.

Community + Care

We embrace the healing that happens in community, when individuals come together to connect, transform, and grow with the expert guidance and care of our partnering providers. We weave a web that includes our beneficiaries, providers, researchers, supporters, and volunteers, where each plays an essential role in carrying out our mission.

Equity + Access

We believe all people, regardless of circumstance, have the birth right to heal from trauma and feel supported in their personal growth, transformation,  and evolution. We exist to move humanity closer to this reality.

Reciprocity + Generosity

We honor the sacred reciprocity and generosity embedded in all of life. We help facilitate this reciprocity by giving individuals who have benefited from psychedelic healing the opportunity to “pay it forward” and support others who are unable to afford treatment.

Gratitude + Prayer

We seek to live and work in gratitude, continually giving thanks for the blessings that surround us. The essence of our organization is the experience of gratitude toward Life itself. We seek to transmit this experience to those we support, in hopes that everyone alive can experience the awe and wonder of their own divinity.

Heal the Individual, Heal the Collective

We’re here to help the world heal, starting with addressing the global crisis in mental health by connecting people to the power and promise of psychedelic medicines. We are making psychedelic therapy accessible, so more people can begin healing now. This ripple effect of healing is positively impacting individuals, families, communities, and the collective at large.

Culture of Consciousness

All people are capable of evolving to access deeper levels of love, joy, peace, and freedom. As their consciousness evolves, people can live their lives to the fullest and share their unique gifts with the world. We are committed to supporting every person’s right to heal their traumas in order to step into their most empowered selves.

Education for Best Practices and Proper Scaling

We are contributing to the ongoing body of clinical research for psychedelic-assisted therapy, providing meaningful quantitative and qualitative data on the treatment protocols that we fund. By publishing our findings, we aim to further refine and improve the standard of care involving psychedelics as tools in the therapeutic process. We also educate the public about these medicines in an effort to destigmatize their use in therapeutic settings.

Establishing social equity through collaboration

As a society, we have been operating within a system that oppresses entire populations of people and perpetuates cycles of trauma, poverty, and imprisonment. This is not acceptable, and we are committed to playing our part in establishing new systems that promote social equity.

Thank You Life is focused on helping underserved communities gain access to top quality mental healthcare through psychedelic therapy, which we feel is an important part of the larger social equity movement. We are committed to listening to the voices of those who have been oppressed and marginalized, in order to bring lasting change. 

We are honored to partner with organizations who are leading the way in their respective fields, contributing their piece in the pursuit of social equity. 

Additionally, we are teaming up with KAP providers within the BIPOC, veteran, and LGBT+ communities who are committed to offering psychedelic therapy to their marginalized communities.
