United States Public Health Service (USPHS), Captain (CAPT) Sean J. Belouin, began his uniformed service career in 1988 at the age of 18 when he enlisted in the United States Army. At 19, he graduated from the Army鈥檚 Warrant Officer Flight Training Program as a Warrant Officer (W1) earning his Army aviator wings as a helicopter pilot. During his eight years of combined active Army duty and National Guard service, Chief Warrant Officer (CW2), Belouin had earned his commercial and instrument helicopter ratings, fixed wing private pilot rating, and had become qualified in three different military aircraft. While CW2 Belouin was serving in the Army National Guard, he advanced his education by pursuing a professional Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy from the University of Connecticut, graduating, and becoming a pharmacist in 1997. After serving as a civilian community pharmacist for two years, CW2 Belouin joined the ranks of the USPHS in 1999 as a Pharmacy Officer at the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade (LTJG), and he would go on to earn his clinical doctorate in pharmacy from Shenandoah University in 2006.

CAPT Belouin currently serves as a pharmacy officer in the USPHS in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, HHS addressing a broad array of complex behavioral health policy issues. CAPT Belouin has held several programmatic, regulatory, or policy positions throughout his 25-year PHS career, split between the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Prior to CAPT Belouin鈥檚 PHS career, he served in several assignments as an Army aviator and warrant officer on active duty and then with the Massachusetts Army National Guard.

Most recently in 2023, CAPT Belouin accepted a detail to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), as Senior Advisor on Behavioral Health. Crucially, this involved spearheading the emerging therapeutic healing modalities (ETHM) initiative that encompasses identifying, developing, and implementing innovative programmatic policies, whose interventions from this initiative target the unmet medical needs for serious behavioral health disorders where current evidence-based prevention and treatment programs have been ineffective. 听听听听

Marcus Capone, along with his wife Amber, are the founders of the U.S.-based nonprofit organization, Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS), a pioneering 501(c)(3) organization that provides resources, research, and advocacy for U.S. Special Operations veterans seeking psychedelic-assisted therapies. The Veteran Navy SEAL turned Entrepreneur continues to advance this mission with the additional founding of TARA Mind, a public benefit corporation to provide safe, effective, and affordable access to life-changing mental health therapies through coordinated care and structured real world evidence datasets. The Company has developed a first of its kind mental health collaborative care platform, recognized for being clinician-guided, data-driven, and evidence-based, to help the millions of individuals struggling with mental health disorders that have not been clinically responsive to traditional mental health therapies, all through employer funded health plans.
After spending 13 years on active duty, and numerous combat deployments as a Navy SEAL, Marcus鈥� post-military transition challenges became seemingly insurmountable. After many traditional approaches to mental healthcare were unsuccessful, Amber arranged for Marcus to leave the U.S. in 2017 to pursue psychedelic therapy, an intervention the couple attributes to saving his life, as well as their family.

He found the astounding success too incredible not to share with other veterans, which prompted the trailblazing launch of VETS. Since its inception, VETS has maintained a special emphasis on ibogaine (although the VETS mission also includes grant funding and advocacy for additional psychedelic compounds), and its remarkable potential for neuroregenerative effects in combating blast injury and mild traumatic brain injury, the 鈥渟ignature injury鈥� of the post-9/11 conflicts overseas, though the VETS mission also includes grant funding and advocacy for additional psychedelic compounds. As a global leader in psychedelic science, VETS has raised funding to provide integration support and therapeutic access abroad to hundreds of veterans, spouses, and Gold Star spouses, while also spearheading research and policy change at the state and federal levels.

Marcus is a frequent guest speaker and advocate of psychedelic therapies for veterans and non-veterans alike, and he believes that psychedelic therapies are the future of mental healthcare. His ultimate goal is to make these therapies available through affordable access, within the borders of the United States for all who need them.
