Small business owners have been doing it tough for a long time and statistics are demonstrating higher levels of psychological distress within this community. The last two years have been two of the most challenging years for small business owners as they have struggled to manage their businesses amidst a global pandemic.

Mental health and wellbeing can be a complex topic, but it is also an important topic to understand in order to build a foundation of resilience and strength. This webinar aims to educate small business owners on what wellbeing and mental health is. It will also provide tips, tools, strategies, and advice for how small business owners can protect themselves against the stresses and challenges that often go hand in hand with running a small business, in addition to looking out for warning signs in others.

These tools and strategies can help small business owners take care of their business, their teams and most importantly, take care of themselves. This webinar will introduce a variety of solutions that can assist with wellbeing and support mental health, including the NewAccess for Small Business Owners Program.
