Amanda Frankenfield

Director of Peer Services

After losing my mother to suicide and my father to his addiction, I knew that my purpose in life was to share my experiences, battles, and achievements with others who are or had been in similar situations that brought pain, suffering and hopelessness upon them.

Spending years of my life learning how to live again and rewrite a traumatic story, I gained a plethora of coping skills, strategies and messages of hope that I now have in my toolbox and use to inspire, motivate, teach, and encourage others.

I truly consider it an honor every day to share my past experiences with those who need support like I did and coach a team of people to do so as well. Being someone who lives with BPD and C-PTSD, it is incredibly important for me to show others with a shared diagnosis that not only is recovery possible, but so is personal success. I continue to do this work and grow our support team because I firmly believe in paying it forward by teaching others what I have come to know.
