It’s time we talk about Canadian entrepreneurs’ mental health

Entrepreneurs are passionate people. They’ve worked hard to turn their dreams into reality, and they carry the weight of the company, their employees, their customers, and maybe even their community on their shoulders, not to mention the responsibilities at home. For many, this takes its toll. Despite signs of stress, fatigue, depression and burnout, only 6% consult a professional. This is a real and pressing issue that deserves awareness. LEARN MORE
