Solution

BURN offers an innovative solution by creating the BURN'ettes community, the Maison des BURN’ettes, and local support centers—a first-of-its-kind initiative in France dedicated to solidarity among women facing parental or professional burnout. 

Through a holistic approach, the association provides comprehensive support at every stage of recovery, ranging from initial listening support immediately after a breakdown to professional reintegration at the end of the process. The center and local chapters, co-managed by beneficiaries and professionals, offer workshops, discussion groups, and sessions with psychologists, coaches, lawyers, and social workers to provide the broadest possible support for all individual situations. 
 
In addition to the recovery program, the association carries out prevention initiatives tailored for businesses and the general public, incorporating peer support as a fundamental principle—notably by training individuals and “BURN’ettes” to serve as early warning agents within their workplaces. 

Finally, the association has set itself the mission of coordinating stakeholders involved in care within the health, social integration, and gender equality, as well as advocacy, notably by participating in various research projects to improve the recognition of burnout and bring about legislative change.

Why we love it?

Burnout is a growing societal problem, underpinned by a host of issues, not least the mental burden borne by women. L'BURN offers a long-term solution to this taboo and omnipresent subject.

Trying to reconcile work, children and home... one day I just collapsed. For 2 years, it was a real obstacle course to get out of it.
