Focusing on wellbeing in women's entrepreneurship, this session will explore mental and physical health experiences and policy discussion.

Join us for the third meeting of the Women in Enterprise Cross Party Group of this parliamentary session. The event will take place on Zoom.During the pandemic, women entrepreneurs have experienced, not only the challenges of managing a business through crisis, but also increased caring responsibilities and health impacts. This session seeks to explore policies and practices that can support the mental and physical wellbeing of Scotland&#x27;s women business owners. We will discuss issues such as isolation, stress and caring responsibilities, including adult care. We look forward to joining with you for an informative session, sharing experiences, data and a shared aspiration for women-owned businesses in Scotland.
