SeekHer Foundation is launching the 50-in-50 Community Fundraiser— a campaign to activate supportive mental health spaces led by 50 women in 50 states.
Here's why.
The importance of women's mental health has never been more evident. The CDC reports 2 in 5 adults are experiencing mental health struggles since the onset of COVID — and disproportionately amplified amongst women.
The widening gender gap in mental health is recognized by the World Health Organization as one of the most pervasive social issues that must be addressed at the intersection of gender equality and health. Women aren't made to feel safe in their daily lives by the cultural ideals, social constructs, and power structures in place. It's having a severe impact on how we are able to have agency — within our bodies, roles & identities.
In 2022, our goal is to activate SeekHer Community chapters led by 50 new emerging leaders in women's mental health across all 50 states. Each community chapter will offer free licensed professional-led emotional support groups to women in their local communities.
By investing in women leaders who are bridging mental health gaps in their communities, each leader will guide hundreds of women in her local community through critical life stages and vulnerable moments along their womanhood journey.
Together with your support, we can power women to inspire women, and equip them with the tools to enact change in the world around them.
