A Look Back at the 2023 Ascens’her Meetup : Workplace Well-Being and Burnout Prevention in Côte d’Ivoire

On Friday, November 24, 2023, the Life TV auditorium in Abidjan came alive with a unique event : the Ascens’her Meetup by COMMAN-YA, dedicated to professional well-being and burnout prevention. This event, rich in discussion and organized in partnership with Life Radio and its program “Woman Up,” brought together experts, professionals, volunteers, and mental health advocates.

A Landmark Event on Workplace Well-Being

Burnout, or occupational exhaustion syndrome, has become a major issue in the workplace, particularly in West Africa, where work-related pressure and a lack of awareness remain causes for concern. The Ascens’her Meetup created a space for dialogue and the sharing of experiences around this issue, highlighting concrete solutions to better balance work life and mental well-being.

Highlights and Inspiring Discussions

The event featured compelling testimonials, hands-on workshops, and interactive discussions on stress management and burnout prevention. Among the key moments :

• A segment featuring Pervenche Aliman, Executive Director of COMMAN-YA, on Life Radio, highlighting the importance of incorporating mental health into professional discussions.

  
  

• The active participation of numerous partners and volunteers, who helped make this event a memorable success.

  
  

• The engagement of the public particularly professional women which lies at the heart of Ascens’her’s vision: promoting women’s well-being and fulfillment at work.

At COMMAN-YA, we remain convinced that greater attention to mental health is essential for building more humane, sustainable, and fulfilling work environments.
