Sarko Gergerian is a pioneering law enforcement professional with over 15 years of experience at the intersection of public service, mental health advocacy, and psychedelic self-care. As a decorated officer and wellness advocate, he has led efforts to integrate trauma-informed practices into policing, ensuring that first responders have access to the mental and emotional support they need. His groundbreaking work has earned recognition at the local, state, national, and international levels through numerous awards.

Gergerian’s advocacy is deeply rooted in his exploration of psychedelic-assisted self-care and its potential to foster resilience in high-stress professions. Understanding the profound impact of psychedelics on mental health, he has pushed for policies that encourage open dialogue, protect religious freedoms, and promote harm reduction strategies. His legislative efforts include supporting Massachusetts Ballot Question 4, ensuring psychedelic policy reform aligns with public safety and ethical considerations. His journey and advocacy were also featured in Episode 3 of the Netflix documentary How to Change Your Mind—based on Michael Pollan’s best-selling book.

Beyond law enforcement, Gergerian is a dedicated advocate for religious and cognitive liberty. He successfully petitioned his department for a religious accommodation, setting a precedent for first responders seeking constitutional protections for their spiritual practices.

Through public speaking, policy engagement, and community outreach, Sarko Gergerian is helping shape a future where law enforcement, mental health, and psychedelic self-care can coexist—supporting individual and collective healing, resilience, and liberation.
