Well-Being for DEI Practitioners

This report explores the growing mental health challenges faced by DEI professionals amid heightened political tension and policy changes under the 2025 administration. Drawing from Seramount’s post-inauguration Employee Voice Sessions, it highlights how practitioners are coping through mindfulness, limiting media exposure, physical activity, social connection, and self-reflection. The findings emphasize the importance of prioritizing wellness and community support to prevent burnout and sustain meaningful advocacy work during periods of uncertainty and public scrutiny.
