Lived Experience Council

One of HBGI’s central tenets is that we fully embed the perspectives of people most affected by mental and neurological health research in both our strategy and action. To that end, we have formed our Lived Experience Council, bringing together people across a wide variety of ages, locations, conditions, and ethnicities to help build HBGI from the bottom-up.

We received far more qualified applicants than we could accept for our inaugural Lived Experience Council and believe this speaks to the need for more lived experience leadership in the brain health space.
