Unbroken | Restore Your Well-Being | Research Survey

This survey is designed to help us better understand the experiences, challenges, and goals of Black women navigating job loss, career transitions, entrepreneurship, and emotional well-being. Your responses will help inform the development of the Unbroken program and ensure that the tools, resources, and support we provide are relevant, practical, and meaningful to the women we serve. There are no right or wrong answers. We simply want to understand where you are right now and what would genuinely support you on your journey forward.
