APT NETWORK CONVENTION RECAP

The MIND Foundation’s Augmented Psychotherapy Training (APT) is a 15-month professional training program designed for psychotherapists, medical doctors, and other health professionals seeking to deepen their expertise in psychedelic therapy. Graduates and current participants form the APT Network—an international community of like-minded professionals who share a common training foundation and set of professional values.

On April 4–5, 2025, members of the APT Network and mental health professionals interested in the program gathered in Berlin for the first-ever APT Network Convention.

Over the course of two days, participants connected, exchanged insights, and learned from one another in a dynamic and collaborative environment. The event marked a pivotal moment for MIND and the APT community, serving not only as a platform for professional exchange and networking but also as a celebration of the progress being made in advancing psychedelic-augmented psychotherapy.

The convention featured a rich program of talks, workshops, and panel discussions led by members of the network. Topics ranged from the latest research developments to the ethical and practical considerations of delivering psychedelic therapy. Attendees also engaged in open dialogue on the cultural, legal, and societal shifts accompanying the growing interest in psychedelics.
