Women’s Emotional Wellbeing

There is no doubt: Women are strong. But being a woman often comes with unique challenges, responsibilities and life experiences. Biological, social and environmental influences may cause emotional changes that make it difficult for a woman to cope and function at her best. To achieve a healthy balance, women can benefit from specialized, gender-specific care and support.

Let us help you face your unique challenges and needs. If you are experiencing behavioral or mental health concerns, please call (844) 556-2012 to get started.

Research shows that 1 out of every 5 women experiences coping issues and does not seek assistance to overcome obstacles. Difficulty coping may be due to:

  • Experiences of discrimination
  • Experiences of domestic or sexual violence
  • Work-related stress unique to being a woman
  • Stressors related to societal expectations
  • Biological and chemical imbalances
  • Societal pressures specifically placed on women, wives and mothers
  • Overwhelming sense of obligation to take care of family
  • Feelings of guilt or shame
