Survivor Leadership

Lived Experience Is Expertise

GIHTE was built on the belief that people with lived experience should not simply be invited to share their stories — they should have opportunities to teach, lead, build professional platforms and be compensated for the expertise they contribute.

Through GIHTE, survivor leaders can develop and deliver education grounded in their knowledge and experience while participating in the economic opportunities created by that education.

Better Education Builds Better Responses.

Whether you are beginning your learning, looking for accessible information for your family or community, or bringing specialized education to an entire organization, GIHTE connects you with knowledge grounded in experience, evidence and practice.
