The University of Wisconsin–Madison, Center for Healthy Minds, in partnership with The Wellbeing Project, and Humin are inviting for-purpose workers to take part in the State of Changemaker Wellbeing Survey, a global research study to better understand what supports and undermines wellbeing across the social change sector.
This is a global survey focused specifically on changemaker wellbeing. Changemakers everywhere provide the very foundation of societal pillars that we all rely on every day, and yet their own wellbeing is deeply understudied. By bringing together voices across roles, regions, and movements, we aim to build a shared, evidence-based understanding of the everyday realities of change work.
Contributions will help ground future conversations and decisions about sector wellbeing in evidence, not assumptions. Insights from this research will help inform learning, dialogue, and action across the field.
The survey should take about 5 to 10 minutes to complete, and respondents must be 21 years old to participate, and fluent in one of the 12 languages in which the survey is available: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swahili.
This study is being led by Richard Davidson, Ph.D. in Madison, WI and the survey will be conducted online, via the link below. If you have any questions about the study, you can contact the study team by email (wellbeing-survey@chm.wisc.edu) or phone (+1 608-265-5931).
The survey is open to May 22, 2026, and responses are completely anonymous.
