Wellbeing Wednesdays - Real Stories, Real Change: 
Turning Lived Experience Into Advocacy 

August 27 | 2-2:30 p.m. ET

About This Episode

Community voices don’t just shape the conversation — they move it forward. 

Just ask Zoe Frantz, president and CEO of the Indiana Council of Community Mental Health Centers — a National Council member — and an advocate fueled by lived experience. 

In this Wellbeing Wednesdays episode, Frantz shares how her family’s journey with opioid use disorder fuels her grassroots policy work. She also explores: 

  • Proven advocacy strategies — from Hill Days to site visits 

  • Aligning efforts across levels of government for lasting impact 

  • Authentic storytelling, especially from unexpected voices 

  • Building a culture of mental wellbeing for clients and staff 

Join Brett Beckerson, sr. director of public policy and advocacy at the National Council, for a conversation about how lived experience can shape real policy change!
