When you run your own business the buck stops with you.

At times it can be a stressful, and isolating world- so what happens when things just get too much?

October is Mental Health Month so it's good time to put the spotlight on these issues. Beyond Blue has just released a guide for family, friends and colleagues of small business owners to give some practical advice on how to look out for the mental wellbeing of the many Australians who run their own small businesses.

Dr Grant Blashki, is lead clinical advisor at Beyond Blue and he is joined by two people who are going to share their own stories towards recovery- Amanda Linton, CEO of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and Tim Hoopmann, founder of Spinn Business Solutions.
