Empowering start-up visionaries mental well-being

For founders, by founders

Being a founder can be an exciting journey. However, we know that it can also be quite isolating and stressful to navigate through this journey alone. Well, now you don’t have to.

The founders of the organisation are mental health counsellors who are passionate about supporting entrepreneur’s mental health.

Providing You With a Supportive and Inclusive Space

Mind the Gap Connect aims to bridge this gap in mental health support. We provide a holistic approach to mental wellness that encourages self-expression, skill-building, and emotional resilience.

Through workshops encompassing art, music, movement, and more, participants explore their emotions, reduce stress, and discover coping mechanisms in a non-conventional, enjoyable manner. Don’t worry, you don’t need to have any artistic skills!

Participants’ Feedback

“It's wonderful that the exercise helped me rediscover activities that used to bring me joy. I realised reconnecting with things I love can have a positive impact on my well-being. It made me reconnect with the joy riding and writing bring to my life. I recommend everyone do the exercise.”

-Donna, IYE iGen program participant

“Founders should have participate in this activity once a while. Not only that it strengthens the connection between them and their startup, but to allow them to be mentally prepared for challenges.”
