Toppel to examine psychedelic therapy as a transformative addition to employer benefit programs.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ, UNITED STATES, May 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Attorney Jeff Toppel, partner at nationally recognized law firm Bianchi and Brandt, will be presenting at the highly anticipated Psychedelic Science 2025 conference in Denver, June 16–20. Toppel will share insights in a presentation focused on the emerging concept of psychedelic therapy as an employee benefit.
Organized by the nation’s leading psychedelic organization, Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), Psychedelic Science 2025 is the largest gathering of professionals, researchers, and advocates exploring the future of psychedelic medicine. This year’s event is expected to draw thousands of attendees from across the globe.
Toppel’s presentation explores the intersection of mental health treatment, organizational culture, and the evolving role of employers in supporting well-being. He will focus on how companies can lawfully integrate psychedelic-assisted therapy into their benefits offerings to improve employee retention, reduce burnout, and address treatment-resistant mental health challenges.
“As workplace stress and mental health issues reach historic levels, many employers are thinking beyond conventional wellness programs,” said Toppel. “Psychedelic-assisted therapy holds real promise, not just for healing individuals, but for redefining how organizations support their employees.”
Toppel’s background in employment and labor law, as well as his work in psychedelic law, positions him uniquely at the forefront of this conversation. His research combines legal, ethical, and practical perspectives on incorporating psychedelic treatments within the framework of employee benefit plans.
