Abstract
The pandemic has brought about hitherto unimaginable transformations. Anxiety, loss, and sadness have taken their toll resulting in various frightening results, such as disruptive conduct in younger children and aggression and bullying tendencies in older people. Thus, mental health education is essential. However, mental health education not only helps combat the different challenges in our society but also contributes to many sectors that are not always evident to the human eye and are sometimes overlooked. This chapter addresses how mental health education might help students create their businesses. Through an appended assessment of existing research, this chapter covers the components of mental health education and the various linked dimensions of entrepreneurial readiness/competencies. A thorough examination of present and possible ways for providing adequate mental health education has allowed this chapter to offer explicit content. The chapter concludes with a review of the relationships and alignments shared by the areas of mental health education and entrepreneurship.
