When women are empowered to heal, they become powerful agents of change, building a more supportive world for all.

In our fourth annual SeekHer Shift survey, we drew on insights from 2,382 U.S. women to explore their multifaceted challenges and how they are reclaiming their power through healing and advocacy in a rapidly changing world. This year’s findings revealed:

• Mental Health Acceptance: Despite 61% of women having faced mental health challenges, a 32% rise in comfort seeking help signals a powerful move toward destigmatization.

• Societal Stressors' Toll: Societal pressures like economic worries (67%) and political unrest (54%) are severely impacting women's mental health, affecting 32% overall.

• Discrimination's Deepening Impact: Systemic inequities lead to a 1.5-2x higher negative well-being impact for women of color compared to white women.

• Generational Differences Drive Change: Gen Z women are up to 3x more likely than previous generations to challenge harmful health stereotypes. In the workplace, Gen Z and Millennials are up to twice as likely to prioritize both relationship-building and inclusion advocacy, demonstrating a major shift toward community care.

• LGBTQ+ Women's Amplified Pressures: Nearly twice the pressure to conform to family expectations and restrictive gender roles is placed on LGBTQ+ women, highlighting the critical need for specialized, affirming support.
