SeekHer Foundation
According to the World Health Organization, women are twice as likely as men to experience mental health challenges. It’s a reality shaped not by individual shortcomings, but by cultural, structural, and emotional systems that have long overlooked women’s lived experiences. As the non-profit arm of WellSeek, SeekHer advances our public commitment to emotional sustainability by bridging the gender gap of mental health and ensuring that women’s emotional realities are seen, valued, and centered in the systems that shape their leadership and livelihood.
Since 2021, we've partnered with advocates and allied organizations to create an ecosystem of change — shifting cultural norms, elevating women’s voices, and expanding access to healing‑centered leadership. Our work is rooted in the belief that well‑being is a collective responsibility, and that when women are heard and supported, entire communities thrive.
Amplifying Advocacy:
Research, Collaboration, and Action
SeekHer Shift Research
Our annual SeekHer Shift reports examine the gender gap in emotional well‑being and surface the cultural and structural barriers most impacting women today. Drawing from more than 10,000 voices across the U.S., this national research informs the themes that guide SeekHer’s programs and helps mission‑aligned brands understand the emotional needs of women in their workforces and communities. It also lays the foundation for our broader work in emotional sustainability by revealing the patterns and pressures that shape how emotional equity is measured.
#WeHearHer Advocacy Council
With more than 700 pledging advocates and allied organizations, the #WeHearHer Advocacy Council is a peer‑led coalition committed to shifting the cultural narrative around women’s mental health. Through storytelling and local peer-led chapters, the Council activates community‑driven leadership and expands the visibility of women’s emotional experiences.
Community Impact Partnerships
Uplifting over 40,000 women monthly, our community care programs provide free access to mental well-being resources and support spaces. Together with our partners, we’re redefining what health, identity, and success can look like — and advocating for a future where women can heal, lead, and thrive on their own terms.
Partnerships That Cultivate Impact
These collaborations reflect how emotional sustainability comes to life by elevating women’s voices, shifting cultural narratives, and expanding pathways to healing‑centered leadership.
In partnership with Pure Leaf, we explored how emotional sustainability shows up in everyday choices — supporting women in reclaiming agency, setting boundaries, and prioritizing their well‑being. Over two years, we launched the award‑winning "No" Grants Program alongside maternal rights advocates Allyson Felix and Elaine Welteroth. The initiative received nearly 400,000 submissions and awarded $600,000 in microgrants and community care resources, helping women and mothers focus on what truly matters.
Through our collaboration with RoC Skincare, we worked to shift cultural narratives around aging and optimism by centering women’s lived emotional experiences across generations. Together with actress Sarah Jessica Parker, we created the #LookForwardProject, a two‑year initiative that championed hope and emotional well‑being in women’s health. The program reached more than 35,000 women through expert‑led workshops and self‑care resources, while also launching a youth leadership program that supported both parents and the next generation.
With Verizon WAVE (Womxn's Association of Verizon Employees), we engaged employees in meaningful advocacy work that deepened awareness of women’s mental health and strengthened emotional equity within the workplace. Nearly 200 volunteer hours were mobilized within a month to support the SeekHer Shift survey research initiative. The collaboration sparked important internal conversations within their women’s ERG, with majority of volunteers reported increased awareness and a sense of contributing to a meaningful cause in support of mental health.
In partnership with Nutrafol, we brought emotional sustainability into public health conversations by highlighting the emotional toll of stress and inequity on women. Through a social media campaign, we explored the effects of COVID‑related stressors on women’s wellness and elevated the mental health challenges experienced during periods of isolation and uncertainty. Nutrafol extended its commitment through a donation of proceeds during Stress Awareness Month, helping expand access to women’s mental health research and resources.
