Mental health and small business

Recently, I presented at the AAVIP 2019 Online Summit – Digital Marketing for the Future. The topic was “Keeping it Positive – Mental Health for Virtual Professionals” and although it was pitched at virtual professionals it’s important for all small business to work on their mental health.

Topics covered include

• Challenges Small Business Face
• Workplace Stress
• Strategies to help you look after your mental health
• Signs of stress – Physical & Non Physical
• Resources for Positive Mental Health

Prefer to read – here a link for that.
