The Global Family Enterprise Mental Health Survey is now closed. A sincere thank you to everyone who participated and supported the survey. We are deeply grateful for the time and trust you've invested. Your insights will help shape a deeper understanding of mental health in family enterprises around the world.


Be part of the first major international research project focused on the implications of enterprising families’ mental health on the family and business.

The aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of the prevalence of family owners’ mental health conditions and the associated consequences for family enterprises. Data collected will be used to create the 2025 Global Mental Health Report which will be presented at the 2025 FBN Summit. 

The Global Family Enterprise Mental Health Survey is a partnership between the Family Enterprise Legacy Institute (FELI) at the Telfer School of Management in Ottawa, Canada and the Global Family Business Center (GFBC) at IMD in Lausanne, Switzerland,  in collaboration with Family Business Network (FBN).
