For those who run small businesses, it’s far too easy to let mental health slip to the bottom of the priority list: amidst juggling all the other responsibilities from payroll to people recruitment.

Yet, for sole traders and SME owners, mental health matters. It affects how you work, how you make decisions, and how you handle tough days. When you look after your wellbeing, you’re more likely to stay focused, solve problems, and keep your business going over time.

Then, there’s your team. Whether you have one contractor or 100 employees, small businesses have a responsibility to mitigate psychosocial risks in the workplace as far as reasonably practical.

But, what does that actually mean? And, how do go about looking after the mental health of yourself and your team, when you have so many other things on your plate?

This is exactly why we put together the Small Business Guide to Better Mental Health at Work guide. It’s a practical, plain-English resource that breaks down WHS obligations, psychosocial risk management and practical workplace wellbeing strategies without the jargon.

From cheat sheets and support contacts to case studies and checklists, you’ll find everything you need to make a mentally healthy workplace your competitive advantage — not just another item on your to-do list.

You can download the guide for free below, and please share it with anyone who might find it helpful.
