Optimi Health Finalizes Partnership and Psilocybin Supply Agreement With ATMA Journey Centers
Strategic partnership will focus on improving regulatory outcomes in therapist training and safe supply of psilocybin
VANCOUVER, BC — Optimi Health Corp. (CSE: OPTI) (OTCQX: OPTHF) (FRA: 8BN) (“Optimi” or the “Company”), a homegrown, Canadian company producing natural, scalable, and accessible mushroom formulations for transformational human experiences, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exploratory supply agreement with ATMA Journey Centers (“ATMA”), a privately held facilitator of psilocybin-assisted therapy and practitioner training services for palliative care and mental health conditions based in Calgary, Alberta.
The Company has finalized an agreement which will supply psilocybin products to ATMA for future therapist initiatives and supply requirements.
“Few organizations have made as significant a contribution in recent years to the evolving regulatory conversation around psilocybin-assisted therapy as ATMA Journey Centers,” said Bill Ciprick, CEO of Optimi Health. “Optimi is deeply gratified to be able to provide them with this test supply of natural psilocybin in order to facilitate research that may lead to better mental health services for healthcare workers while testing the potential to expand the scale of available psilocybin therapies.”
Optimi Health is looking forward to opportunities presented by this partnership with ATMA to advance the knowledge base of trained psychedelic therapists by providing learning experiences and real-world data derived from the direct administration of a natural psilocybin product.
Further, the Company views this and other early-phase trials and supply agreements as an opportunity to refine approaches and improve efficiencies around the commercial distribution and clinical applications of psilocybin in anticipation of more robust demand as clinical research improves regulatory outcomes for psychedelic medicine.
“The ability to conduct both experiential training for authorized therapists and the clinical trials that will allow us to provide these treatments to patients in need is dependent on a safe and consistent supply of high-grade psilocybin,” said David Harder, Co-CEO of ATMA Journey Centers. “This agreement is an important step toward ATMA’s goal of building a complete research and training infrastructure that will streamline further growth in these directions.”
Authorized parties interested in purchasing Optimi psilocybin and functional mushroom products are invited to contact sales@optimihealth.ca where a member of the sales team will respond within 24 hours.
