how you doing? a guide to mental health for the self-employed.

If you’re self-employed, you’ve taken on responsibility for not only doing the work, but also the accounts, the invoicing, the marketing, the sales, the admin, making the tea and buying the biscuits - and it’s often easy to forget to add your own wellbeing to the to-do list.

45% of freelancers say they hadn’t considered their mental health before taking the leap into self-employment, and over 60% say that poor mental health has had a negative impact on their ability to work.

This guide offers some tangible ways to look after your mental health when you’re self-employed, rooted in insights gathered from the Leapers community and our research with over 500 freelancers globally.
