In 2022, Virginie became a mental health instructor certified by the award-winning Mental Health First Aid Program. After covid and having managed several crises, she decided to implement a full mental health program to address issues such as burnout and depression within companies. This topic is intimately linked to internal communications, corporate social responsibility, and workplace culture. Lastly, and as the landscape has evolved a lot during the last years, she believes in a sustainable approach in PR where the agency becomes a long-term partner supporting the client’s development.
