Mental Health and the Entrepreneurial Mindset: An Unfiltered Discussion with Michael DeVenney
As COVID cases rise and fall, so do the mental health and mindset of entrepreneurs. But in a profession steeped in the mythos of unflappable visionaries, how do entrepreneurs acknowledge their mental health challenges and ask for the help they need?
On November 23, join Halifax-based entrepreneur and mental health advocate Michael DeVenney for Mental Health and the Entrepreneurial Mindset, an honest, unfiltered discussion about the importance of prioritizing one’s mental wellbeing in the workplace. This interactive session will be co-hosted by Karn Nichols, Executive Director of the Canadian Mental Health Association Nova Scotia Division and include a Q & A.
