MSP Well: Mental Health for the Channel (978)

We talk a lot about cybersecurity, tools, and MSP growth, but not nearly enough about what all that pressure does to the people running these businesses. If you run an MSP or work anywhere in the IT channel, this is one you don’t skip. From the floor at Zero Trust World, Larry Meador joins me to introduce MSP Well, a nonprofit built specifically to support the mental health and wellness of MSPs, vendors, and everyone in our ecosystem.​ Why listen How MSP Well was born from real mental health challenges in the channel.​ The mission to raise at least $1M and stand up durable support for MSPs and IT providers.​ Practical ways MSPs, vendors, and media can get involved today.​ Discussion around stress, burnout, grief, and “hidden” struggles inside IT businesses.​ How MSP Well plans to connect people with certified counselors and established hotlines.​ Key links and resources: MSPWell.com, MSP Well on LinkedIn and Facebook, plus coverage from The Channel Company and CRN.
