Questions
Good to know
Answers to the questions we hear most about Rewire. If yours is not here, the team is happy to help.
About the forum
What is Rewire?
The Global Forum on Psychedelics, Neuroplastogens and Innovative Mental Health: two days in Kigali for clinicians, researchers, traditional practitioners, policymakers, funders and people with lived experience to discuss new approaches to addiction, depression and trauma, with a focus on clinical practice, workforce training, policy and sustainable funding.
About the forumHow does Rewire relate to the Ministerial Summit?
Rewire is held alongside the 7th Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit in Kigali, with its own registration. Registering for Rewire does not include access to the Summit. Details of the Day 2 policy morning will be published once confirmed by the organisers.
Is this a treatment or medical event?
No. Rewire is a forum for professional and policy discussion, not a clinical service, and nothing on this site is medical advice. If you need support, please contact a qualified health professional or your local emergency services.
Does Rewire promote psychedelic use?
No. Psychedelic and neuroplastogen research is still emerging. The forum distinguishes clearly between research and approved care, puts safety and ethics first, and makes no claims of a cure.
Taking part
Who can attend?
The forum is designed for people working on, or living with, addiction, depression and trauma: clinicians, researchers, traditional practitioners, policymakers, funders, civil society and people with lived experience. Places are limited to 300.
Does registering guarantee a place?
No. Registering tells us you would like to take part. The participation process, including public and invited routes, is being finalised, and your place is confirmed only when you receive a confirmation from the team.
RegisterIs there a participation fee?
Details of participation, including any fees, will be shared with everyone who has registered when the process opens.
How can I join the High-Level Africa Roundtable?
The roundtable is by invitation only. Invitations are issued separately by the organisers, and the venue is shared privately with invited participants.
Can I propose a contribution or speak?
Yes. If your work fits one of the four councils, tell us about it through the contact form. Contributors are published only once confirmed.
Propose a contributionCan my organisation partner with Rewire?
We welcome programme, funding and institutional partners who share the forum's commitment to evidence, safety and care.
Partnership enquiriesDuring and after
Will sessions be recorded or live-streamed?
No. Sessions are not filmed or live-streamed, and recordings are not offered, so that people can speak openly.
How will the forum's ideas be shared?
Through three Kigali publications released after the forum: Kigali Dispatches, without names or direct quotes; the Kigali Chronicles audio series, released only with consent and editorial clearance; and the Kigali Policy White Paper.
