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 in Miami. 

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).

The survey will close February 28th, 2025. For more information about this project, please reach out to Elizabeth Tetzlaff.
