Daniel Carcillio
2x Stanley Cup Champion | Psychedelic Advocate | Founder, Chapter 5 Foundation
Daniel Carcillo is a former NHL enforcer turned leading voice in psychedelic healing. After winning two Stanley Cups with the Chicago Blackhawks, Daniel faced the devastating effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-concussion syndrome, and depression—ultimately finding hope and recovery through psychedelic medicine.
His personal healing journey sparked a powerful mission: to help others facing similar battles. Daniel founded the Chapter 5 Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting athletes dealing with post-concussion syndrome, anxiety, and depression. Through this platform, he advocates for the use of psychedelic-assisted therapy for TBI, PTSD, and neurological health.Wikipedia
