• Mental Health in Entrepreneurship: How to care for yourself and your community

• Jennifer O’Neill (Beautiful Little Things) will moderate, with:

• Kevin Hamilton, Southwest Soul Circuit

• Shoshana Elkins, LCSW Sequoia Springs Trauma Healing Center

Are you struggling with turning your mind off when the lights go out? Or riding a daily roller coaster of highs and lows while running your business? If so, this panel is for you. Our panelists will approach the topic of mental health from a variety of angles, discussing their individual practices for self-care along with the challenges they’ve encountered in their own journeys as entrepreneurs.

Small business owners, freelancers and solopreneurs are naturally encouraged to attend. This event is also an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in networking with these groups or expanding their own awareness around current topics in the business community.
