Cutting edge High
Charles Fowler and Blair High PsyT encourages discussion and research into use of psychedelics for depression, PTSD and more DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Blair High likes to help people overcome adversity.
When she started the GEAR program at Resource Center, it was cutting edge. Known for its awards program, GEAR not only affirmed transgender people were ok, but awarded them for their accomplishments.
The list of speakers didn’t just include trans people who persevered through adversity; it also included people like Amanda Simpson, who had just been appointed deputy assistant secretary of defense, the highest-ranking politically-appointed trans person at the time.
Today, High is helping people in another cutting edge way — as a coordinator of the Psychedelic Society of Texas, or PsyT, offering education, harm reduction and healing by developing community, discussion and bringing in top-notch speakers.
