SeekHer Foundation
According to the World Health Organization, women are twice as likely as men to suffer from mental health struggles. As WellSeek’s non-profit arm, SeekHer Foundation amplifies our social mission & public commitment to bridge the gender gap of mental health through advocacy, research, and support for women-led communities.
Since 2021, we've partnered with advocates and allied organizations to create an ecosystem of change, shifting cultural norms that hold women back from their well-being and success. At the heart of our work lies a commitment to wellness and equity, building a healthier and more inclusive world that will truly ‘hear her’.
Amplifying Advocacy:
Research, Collaboration, and Action
SeekHer Shift Research
Our annual SeekHer Shift research champions women’s mental health advocacy by examining the gender gap in emotional wellbeing and identifying the social and cultural barriers that most impact women’s lives. Drawing from more than 10,000 voices across the U.S., this national study surfaces the cultural shifts women most want to see and informs the themes that guide SeekHer’s programs. It also helps mission‑aligned brands better understand the emotional needs of women as members of our workforces and communities, paving the way for emotional equity through healing‑centered leadership.
#WeHearHer Advocacy Council
We’re building a powerful coalition of over 600 individuals and allied organizations through the #WeHearHer Advocacy Council. Driven by research on women's mental health, our peer-led think tank pledges collective action to ignite conversations through storytelling and local peer-led chapters to activate positive change in our workplaces and communities.
Community Impact Partnerships
Uplifting over 40,000 women monthly, our community care programs provide free access to mental well-being resources and support spaces. By igniting discussions to redefine health, identity, and success in today's world, we're working with our partners to advocate for a future where women heal, lead. and thrive on their own terms.
Who We’ve Teamed Up With to Ignite Impact
In a two-year collaboration with Pure Leaf, we launched the Anthem Award-winning "No" Grants Program. Partnering with maternal rights advocates Allyson Felix and Elaine Welteroth, the program received nearly 400,000 grant submissions and awarded $600,000 in microgrants and community care resources. The initiative empowered women and mothers to prioritize their well-being by setting boundaries and focusing on what truly matters.
Through a two-year #LookForwardProject initiative in partnership with RoC Skincare and actress Sarah Jessica Parker, we challenged societal norms that negatively impacted women's well-being, championing hope and optimism as pillars of mental health.
Together, we launched the LookForward Community Program, empowering both the next generation and their parents through expert-led workshops, self-care resources, and a youth leadership program. The program reached over 35,000 women, fostering a more positive outlook and optimistic future within families.
In partnership with Verizon WAVE (Womxn's Association of Verizon Employees), nearly 200 volunteer hours were mobilized within a month to support the SeekHer Shift survey research initiative. The collaboration amplified women's advocacy and sparked crucial conversations around mental health awareness within their ERG. The vast majority of volunteers reported experiencing increased awareness around a social issue and felt their efforts contributed to a meaningful cause.
To activate their social purpose of making women's health resources more accessible, we partnered with Nutrafol on social media campaigns that explored the impact of COVID-related physical and emotional stressors on women's wellness, while also delving into the root mental health challenges faced by BIPOC communities. The campaigns reached a wide audience and sparked important conversations about women's well-being. Nutrafol’s commitment went beyond awareness; during Stress Awareness Month, the company supported SeekHer's initiatives through a donation of proceeds.
