Small Business Month is here!
Take a look at what Ahead for Business is doing for Small Business Month this year.
Ahead for Business will be running a series of focus groups to investigate the mental health needs of small business owners in the entertainment industry.
Those working in the entertainment industry face unique challenges which have been worsened by COVID-19. Small business owners from the entertainment industry are invited to attend a focus group to discuss the mental health challenges they face. This will help shape the development of mental health resources, tools and training on Ahead for Business, tailored specifically to those working in the entertainment industry.
A focus group is an open and interactive group discussion moderated by a researcher to gather useful information around a particular topic. These discussions will focus on the strengths and needs of the entertainment industry, any current mental health supports available, what may be needed, and in what format.
