Solution

L'BURN offers an innovative solution by creating the BURN'ettes community, the Maison des BURN'ettes and local relays, a first-of-its-kind initiative in France dedicated to solidarity between women facing parental or professional burnout. Using a holistic approach, the association provides comprehensive support at every stage of the rebuilding process, from initial listening just after the collapse to professional remobilization at the end of the process. The house and relays, co-managed by beneficiaries and professionals, offer workshops, discussion groups, sessions with psychologists, coaches, lawyers and social workers to provide the broadest possible support for all individual situations. 
 
In addition to the reconstruction program, the association carries out tailored prevention initiatives for companies and the general public, involving peer-help as a fundamental principle, in particular by training individuals and BURN'ettes to become sentinels within their work organizations.

Finally, the association's mission is to coordinate those involved in care in the health, social inclusion and gender equality sectors, as well as to advocate, notably through involvement in various research projects aimed at improving recognition of burnout and changing the law.

👟 We laced up our sneakers again for another Nuit des Relais!

📆 On June 4, 2024 in Bordeaux's Place Pey-Berland, L'BURN joined forces with the Fondation des Femmes and many other associations for the Nuit des Relais, a festive, sporting and supportive event for women's rights.

✨ The concept: Team members take turns every 8 minutes, each at their own pace, on a course for an entire night (or almost). An evening that gets the whole company moving to collect donations then donated to associations (like us) working for gender equality and against violence against women.

✨ As you know, our association supports women victims of burnout and fights against sexist and sexual violence in the workplace, as well as its impact on mental health.

This year's Nuit des Relais raised €60,000 for associations in the Gironde!" 

Les BURN'ettes took the prize for best atmosphere! Because the L'BURN team is all about fun and good humor every day. A moment of relaxation during an event, without forgetting the cause and message for which we fight every day.  We were able to demonstrate with humor but realism what life can be like for a woman in burnout. 

BURN to be Alive !

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.
