Burnout Breakthrough for Organisations
A preventative, ethical approach to workforce sustainability.
Burnout Breakthrough
A preventative burnout course designed to sit alongside existing organisational support
Across health, education, and care settings worldwide, organisations are facing the same challenge: highly committed professionals working under sustained pressure, with limited opportunities to recover fully from the emotional and cognitive demands of their roles.
When stress accumulates over time, the consequences are familiar across systems and countries:
- reduced wellbeing and morale
- increased sickness absence and presenteeism
- loss of experienced staff
- rising costs associated with turnover and replacement
Most organisations already provide some form of staff wellbeing or mental health support. Burnout Breakthrough is not designed to replace these services.
It exists to address a specific and widely recognised gap.
Burnout Breakthrough
The gap: early-stage burnout prevention
Much organisational support becomes available after distress has reached a threshold — when staff are already struggling, off work, or in crisis.
Burnout Breakthrough is designed for an earlier point:
- when staff are still working
- still functioning
- but beginning to experience cumulative strain
This early stage is often where intervention is most effective and where structured, accessible support is least available.
The course supports staff to recognise early warning signs, regulate stress responses, and build sustainable habits before burnout escalates into long-term absence or attrition.
Why role-specific burnout support matters
Burnout is not experienced in the same way across all professions.
Roles involving prolonged emotional labour, responsibility for others, exposure to distress, and high relational demand such as mental health nursing carry distinct risks and patterns of stress.
Generic wellbeing programmes often fail to engage these groups because they don’t reflect the lived realities of the work. Burnout Breakthrough is designed specifically for mental health nurses, drawing on:
- extensive one-to-one coaching experience
- direct observation of what professionals engage with under pressure
- established psychological and behavioural science
- and the realities of shift work, emotional load, and boundary erosion
The tone, pacing, language, and interventions are tailored accordingly.
A preventative, low-burden delivery model
Burnout Breakthrough is intentionally designed to be:
- low demand (no long sessions or heavy cognitive load)
- flexible (participants engage only with what is relevant to them)
- non-clinical (not therapy or treatment)
- complementary to existing organisational support
Participants are encouraged to work with one or two small practices at a time, allowing habits to form without overwhelming already stretched individuals or systems.
Engagement is supported through brief prompts before, during, and after work periods, and on days off reducing reliance on motivation or memory.
The first burnout prevention course in the world designed specifically for mental health nurses.
Burnout Breakthrough is grounded in established burnout, wellbeing, and behavioural science literature and built from:
- 28 years of clinical nursing experience
- Years of specialisation in burnout prevention and coaching
- Over 140 one-to-one coaching cases with mental-health nurses
- Early-stage research demonstrating measurable improvements in wellbeing, clarity, boundaries, and role sustainability
- A deep understanding of the 25 distinct drivers of nursing burnout
This course doesn’t just reduce burnout symptoms.
It strengthens retention, supports staff wellbeing, and helps nurses reconnect with the meaning and stability required to stay in the profession if they want to.
Designed for variability, not compliance
Burnout does not follow a linear or uniform path and this course does not expect participants to progress in a fixed sequence. Many users find that only a small number of modules are immediately relevant, with others becoming useful later or not at all. This pick-and-choose structure increases autonomy, reduces resistance, and aligns with adult learning principles in high-pressure environments.
How Burnout Breakthrough Works in Practice
Burnout Breakthrough is designed to be straightforward to access, light to implement, and flexible enough to work across different organisational contexts. It does not require significant internal resources, facilitation, or specialist training to introduce.
A modular, role-specific course
The course consists of a series of short, role-specific lessons focused on common burnout drivers in mental health nursing. Each lesson includes:
- brief video guidance
- optional reflective prompts
- short, practical interventions
- and, where appropriate, guided meditations
Participants are not expected to complete all lessons or follow a fixed sequence. The modular design allows individuals to engage with only what is relevant to their current circumstances.
Many participants find that a small subset of lessons meets their immediate needs, with others becoming useful later or not at all.
A Different Way Through Burnout
A flexible, nurse-led approach designed for busy, high-pressure roles.
How the Course Works
Content is intentionally concise and accessible. There are no long teaching sessions or heavy academic demands. Most elements can be engaged with:
- in short periods
- between tasks
- during breaks
- or outside work hours, if preferred
This makes the course realistic for staff working shifts, irregular hours, or emotionally demanding roles.
Behaviourally informed design
The course structure draws on established behavioural science, including habit-formation research. Participants are encouraged to work with one or two small interventions at a time, allowing them to become familiar and automatic before adding anything new. Gentle prompts and reminders support this process, reducing reliance on motivation or memory both of which are often compromised under chronic stress.
Flexible delivery via app and online platform
Burnout Breakthrough is delivered through our online learning environment using our own web-based app that provides optional prompts and reminders. Prompts can be scheduled by users, whether at work or on days off, before, during or after shifts, as needed. This supports continuity without requiring staff to actively remember or self-manage engagement.
Low administrative burden
From an organisational perspective, there is no requirement for internal facilitation, no mandatory attendance, no group sessions unless specifically requested, and no performance reporting on individuals. Staff engage privately and independently, which often increases uptake and reduces stigma.
Suitable for varied organisational contexts
Burnout Breakthrough has been designed to function across:
- public and private healthcare providers
- training institutions and universities
- charities and NGOs
- and other care-based organisations
Organisations explore Burnout Breakthrough as:
- a preventative wellbeing intervention
- a retention and sustainability support
- a complement to existing wellbeing, HR, or occupational support
- a resource for staff who are not unwell enough for clinical pathways but are clearly under strain
It can be offered:
- organisation-wide
- to specific teams or cohorts
- as part of wellbeing, CPD, or professional development initiatives
Implementation is light-touch and does not require intensive internal facilitation.
Take a look inside...
What Burnout Breakthrough requires and what it does not
Organisations considering Burnout Breakthrough are often balancing several priorities at once: staff wellbeing, ethical responsibility, reputational risk, and practical feasibility.
A low-risk, non-clinical intervention
Burnout Breakthrough is positioned as:
- preventative, not remedial
- educational and reflective, not clinical
- voluntary, not mandated
It does not diagnose, treat, or replace medical or psychological care. Participants are encouraged to access existing clinical or occupational health services where appropriate. This positioning significantly reduces clinical and governance risk.
No requirement for disclosure or monitoring
Participants engage with the course privately. There is:
- no requirement to disclose personal information to managers
- no group sharing or facilitated discussion unless explicitly requested
- no monitoring of individual engagement or performance
This privacy often increases uptake, particularly in cultures where stigma or fear of judgement remains a barrier.
Clear boundaries of responsibility
To help avoid the risk of wellbeing initiatives being perceived as “papering over” systemic issues. Burnout Breakthrough:
- supports individual awareness, self-regulation, and sustainability
- does not position burnout as an individual failure
- does not absolve organisations of responsibility for workload, staffing, or culture
Minimal implementation burden
From an operational standpoint, Burnout Breakthrough is designed to be easy to introduce. Access can be provided centrally, with staff engaging independently and flexibly. Organisations are not required to:
- provide facilitators
- allocate protected teaching time
- train internal staff
- manage group sessions
- or integrate with existing IT systems
Adaptable to different organisational contexts
The course is equally suitable for public, private, and third-sector organisations, and can be used:
- organisation-wide
- within specific departments or teams
- as part of wellbeing, CPD, or retention initiatives
- alongside existing wellbeing or EAP provision
How organisations typically offer Burnout Breakthrough
Burnout Breakthrough is available to individual nurses as a one-off purchase price of £249 , with full access to the complete course, with no subscriptions or expiry. This individual price acts as the baseline reference point for organisational access. Organisational pricing is aligned with not disconnected from individual value
How organisations typically offer Burnout Breakthrough
Organisations usually engage with Burnout Breakthrough in one of the following ways.
- Pilot or small-cohort access – allowing organisations to observe engagement patterns without committing to large-scale rollout.
- Departmental or role-specific access – for teams under sustained pressure, when retention or sickness trends are emerging, or for targeted preventative support.
- Organisation-wide access – when burnout prevention is part of a broader wellbeing or retention strategy.
Organisational pricing is structured to be transparent, scalable and predictable. Costs are typically calculated on a per-participant basis, reducing as volume increases. There are no hidden fees, mandatory facilitation costs, or ongoing subscription requirements unless specifically requested.
This ensures organisations pay for what is appropriate — not more.

Meet Chris
I’m Chris Salt, a Burnout Specialist, Coaching Psychologist, and ex-mental health nurse. Burnout Wellness was born from my own journey through burnout and the drive to support others in finding lasting solutions, not just temporary relief. Here, I focus on empowering you to make transformative changes that last. I am passionate about helping individuals move beyond burnout to live with renewed purpose, vitality, and meaning.
Having personally experienced burnout twice during my career, I understand implicitly the toll it can take on every aspect of life, professionally, emotionally, and physically. My first episode followed almost 20 years of 24/7 on-call work in mental health nursing, which was so severe it necessitated a complete career change. The second (and to a lesser degree than the first) came whilst working in the construction industry and during an expensive and gruelling legal battle in three jurisdictions which lasted over 4 years after the 2008 financial crash, Each experience taught me resilience, self-compassion, and the skills needed to rebuild my life, and I am deeply committed to guiding others on their own journeys to recovery and thriving through these experiences. My mission is clear: to support individuals, like you, in reclaiming your lives, health, and energy which I have done myself quite adeptly, and I will share with you the skills required to do this within your own unique situation.
