Wellbeing is a Game-Changer | Full Frame Initiative

Why wellbeing?

Wellbeing is the set of needs and experiences universally required in combination and balance to weather challenges and have health and hope.

But racism, sexism, homophobia and additional inequities are baked into our systems and our country, resulting in fast tracks to wellbeing for some and dramatically reduced access for others.

We’re building a country where everyone has a fair shot at wellbeing

Every day, the Full Frame Initiative is:

Challenging the narratives that drive us apart and hold problems in place
Reimagining our country’s most complex and inequitable systems
Supporting institutions in shifting toward wellbeing, equity and transformation
Fostering unlikely alliances that spark movement – not programs
Uplifting what’s possible so access to wellbeing becomes the norm
And more

Full frame is a term from documentary filmmaking: to truly show a character, the filmmaker must pull the lens all the way back from the individual and fill the frame with the environment, the relationships, the events and the interactions that define and are defined by the character.
