Attendees leave with a list of practical, often fun, self-care ideas they can apply immediately in their own workplace.
  • Creating a mentally healthy small business
    Do you want to address employee wellbeing but just don’t know where to begin?

This keynote provides business owners with a roadmap to know how to have mental health discussions in the workplace and manage the wellbeing of their small business employees. The audience will learn how building a mentally healthy workplace is so much more than fruit baskets and lunchtime yoga!
