Mental Health and the business owner

As business owners and leaders of our business, it is imperative that we recognise at these times the effect that lockdown is having on our clients and our staff currently. In the best of times business ownership can be extremely rewarding, on the other hand it can also be extremely lonely place to be.

It is never obvious where a business owner can reach out for help, so I encourage all of us to undertake 20 minutes of training from Ohana.ie.

This training is free and will provide you with the tools to enable you to:

• Identify the signs that someone may be suicidal
• Employ the correct language in asking the appropriate questions
• Direct that person to the appropriate help
