About Us
Let’s work together to provide the startup sector the resiliency skills to go the distance.
Collectively Tangled is a social enterprise that provides mental health services, education, and consulting to the startup and innovation sector. We’re a Calgary-born company founded by social workers. We’re systems-oriented, outcomes-driven, and here to shake things up.
We work with entrepreneurs, startup employees, and small businesses, as well as innovation hubs, incubators, and organizations supporting startup growth and development.
What do we offer?
We offer mental health counselling, workshops, and consulting that focus on both prevention and intervention. Our preventative, health-promoting workshops are at the core of what we do. We develop custom curriculum packages for innovation hubs, integrating into existing programming to maximize entrepreneur success and to have the greatest, most cost-effective impact. We provide mental health consulting for businesses and organizations looking to expand or improve their mental health policies and supports. We also offer individual, couple, and family counselling services for entrepreneurs and folks working in the startup and innovation space. Unsure what services you need? Connect with us. We’ll find a solution that’s right for you.
Who’s it for?
Our workshops and services are specifically targeted towards entrepreneurs and those working within the startup and innovation sector. When it comes to mental health support, we speak and understand entrepreneurial language—we’re founders, too. By offering workshops and collaborating with capacity builders, we're able to meet entrepreneurs where they’re at, while also assisting programs to maximize their own resources and outcomes.
How does it work?
If you’re an individual and want to book a counselling session, fill out this form to connect with us! If you’re a business, organization, or hub looking to host a workshop or integrate a curriculum package into your offerings, connect with us! We’ll meet with you to get a better understanding of your current programming, needs, and budget, and then put together a custom plan for you.
Why mental health?
We need to work together to achieve the goals of the startup and innovation sector. Capacity builders invest a lot of time, energy, resources, and funding into entrepreneur programming, but if we’re ignoring the mental health of program participants, we can’t expect them to reach their full potential. If we, as individuals, aren’t operating at our best, our business isn’t either.
We need to address what’s been overlooked for too long: entrepreneurs experience mental health concerns at greater rates than the general Canadian population. There are a lot of barriers that entrepreneurs face when it comes to seeking out mental health support.
We can change that together.
