Filling The Gap
The Entrepreneur Mental Health Association (EMHA) was founded in 2023 by Kennedy Hardinge, a passionate (and dog-loving) entrepreneur with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by business owners.
Throughout her journey as a small business owner, she went through mental health struggles and searched for resources and support to help connect with others going through the same thing.
But, in her research, she found there was no mental health support for business owners. She reached out to other entrepreneurs and was not surprised to find that they were feeling the exact same way.
A Vision of Community & Support
Inspired by her vision, and fueled by her passion for connecting with others, Kennedy established EMHA to create a space where mental wellness is prioritized, and entrepreneurs can find the resources they need to thrive.
With a focus on providing mental health support, building community, and educating entrepreneurs, EMHA has grown into a valuable resource for business owners across Canada.
One of our key milestones was hosting our inaugural Entrepreneur Mental Health event.
On October 6, 2023, we welcomed 100 attendees and featured three inspiring keynote speakers. This event marked a significant step in our mission to raise awareness and provide support within the entrepreneurial community.
In addition to our flagship event, we have successfully organized multiple activities during Mental Health Awareness Week, celebrating the resilience of business owners.
From free lunches and vision board workshops to calming sound bath sessions, these events foster connection and promote mental well-being among our members.
