Support Groups

COVID-19 Business Crisis Support Groups

Managing through business and personal crisis is critical. You may face increased uncertainty, stress, financial struggles, self care challenges, child care issues, isolation and the feeling of being stretched thin, on top of any issues from before the pandemic.

You’re invited to join us for a free business crisis support group. We hope to help you connect with other entrepreneurs who are also struggling, offer you some ideas for coping in a business and personal context, and approach things from the perspective of running a business in a difficult time with uncertainty about the future.

While COVID-19 is having a huge impact, we recognize that business crisis can come from a number of issues. This group takes an intersectional perspective.
