Once a month, Co.act staff and featured guests, who are nonprofit and social impact ecosystem leaders and community changemakers, have candid conversations about topics that are deeply relevant to the community, yet lie beneath the surface of public conversations. For example: Black leadership in a society where leadership is predominantly white, work and mental wellbeing, the digital divide and inclusion, and more. There have been 20 podcast episodes produced in partnership with Homemade Media.

A 2024 study conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management found about half of U.S. employees feel burned out, “emotionally drained,” from their work, or used up at the end of the workday.

To address issues like this, Co.act’s Wellbeing Series uplifts the vital connection between self and community care in a way that pushes for a culture shift around wellbeing in the workplace.

Quarterly sessions are offered virtually and in-person to connect social impact professionals working across sectors with leading local and global practitioners and thought leaders to support individual wellness practices, cultivate stronger organizational cultures of well-being, and foster a deeper, sector-wide shift.
