How does self-employment affect your mental health? The UK-based Leapers community has been running an annual survey since 2019 to better understand the connection between freelance work and mental wellbeing.
Each year, hundreds of self-employed professionals from around the world share their experiences — and the insights gathered help shape resources, community support, and even policy. If you'd like to share yours, the 2025 edition is now open.
It only takes a few minutes to complete, and all responses are completely anonymous. You can also explore results from previous years on their website.
