SHIFT

More than a research initiative, SeekHer Shift is a movement — offering a cultural pulse on women’s mental health that honors over 7,000 voices, spanning women and gender-expansive individuals impacted by systems that seek to limit them. Together, we’re mapping the evolution of healing from a personal act to a collective imperative. Our reports are where data meets story, and where lived experiences become blueprints for cultural change.

Emotional wellness is inseparable from the systems we navigate—and women are redefining what healing, equity, and advocacy truly mean.

In our fourth annual SeekHer Shift survey, insights from 2,382 U.S. women revealed how healing and advocacy are reshaping well-being in an increasingly complex world. This year’s findings revealed:

  • Mental Health Acceptance 61% of respondents have faced mental health challenges, yet a 32% rise in comfort seeking support marks a powerful shift toward destigmatization.

  • Societal Stressors' Toll Economic uncertainty (67%) and political unrest (54%) are driving widespread distress, impacting mental health for 1 in 3 women overall.

  • Discrimination’s Deepening Impact Systemic inequities show a 1.5–2x greater negative effect on well-being for women of color compared to white women, underscoring persistent gaps in care and cultural safety.

  • Generational Differences Driving Change Gen Z women are up to 3x more likely to challenge harmful health narratives. In the workplace, younger generations are leading with emotional intelligence — prioritizing relationship-building and inclusion advocacy at twice the rate of previous cohorts.

  • Amplified Pressures on LGBTQ+ Women LGBTQ+ respondents report nearly double the pressure to conform to family norms and restrictive gender roles, highlighting an urgent need for affirming, identity-specific support.
