Katya Fels Smyth introduced WIATT (the Wellbeing Insights, Assets & Tradeoffs Tool) in a webinar for the American Planning Association, St. Louis.
Katya sat down with Equal Measure President and CEO Leon T. Andrews, Jr. to discuss the five domains of wellbeing, the importance of sustained funding for systems change, and FFI’s closure this year.
This discussion guide accompanies the video of the same name that introduces a powerful visual analogy for the systems that lead to unequal access to wellbeing.
Wellbeing isn't just a nice to have and we break down the myths and misconceptions about wellbeing and tradeoffs.
The Full Frame Initiative defines wellbeing as the set of needs and experiences universally required in combination and balance to weather challenges and have health and hope.
All of us share a drive to feel whole, individually and collectively. We're all hardwired for wellbeing, and we all deserve a fair shot at it, too. But we don't all have the same access.

After 15+ years moving the US toward a country where everyone has a fair shot at wellbeing, the Full Frame Initiative has made the careful decision to wind down as an organization. Read the letter from FFI’s Founder & CEO Katya Fels Smyth about the decision to intentionally close in a way that reflects our values and minimizes risk of harm to our partners and communities. We are committed to ensuring the work takes on new life beyond our organization’s boundaries.
Climate adaptation can be a booster for the wellbeing of people and the planet. Join us as we explore how to leverage climate adaptation to move beyond protecting what we have now to building the equitable communities we wish for.
