Resilience and well-being
Strategies and approaches to minimize the risk for psychological harm as a result of crisis, the effects of working in isolation or mental health issues.
This resource can help improve your ability to bounce back after a potential health, personal, or work crisis. It will help you identify effective strategies and resources to draw on when needed. The self-employed are guided to think about business continuity strategies whether as a sole proprietor, independent consultant, or small business owner.
Independent professionals are a growing workforce who, by the nature of their self-employment choice, often work in isolation. While this autonomy, independence and flexibility are positive for most, it may come with challenges to physical, mental and professional well-being when not properly managed.
